Seeger Sessions

[poliphilo]

First thing this morning, while we were making breakfast, I put on the CD of Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Sessions. Normally I drag round the kitchen, moaning and groaning; this morning I was dancing a jig. 

Yes, really- "fitting it heel and toe".

This is the Boss reacting to Bush and the Bush years and saying,"there's a deeper finer, American tradition than the one you represent."

Only it comes out as "old Dan Tucker was a dirty old man/ Washed his face in the frying pan." Gorgeous!  Just gorgeous!

There's a spirit moving in the land...

I've always been in two minds about Seeger- loved the man and what he stands for, never been too keen on his singing style. I like my folk to have a rougher edge than he gives it.
