After recording We Shall Overcome for a Pete Seeger tribute album Springsteen got interested in Seeger's music (of which he hadn't really known much before). After his daughter said she liked the music he decided to do an album... Rock meets folk was born.
The record and tour did very well. This is the reissue "land" edition.

Many will have heard this but many may not. Its a super group of traditional songs that Pete Seeger used to sing in his own way, and now giver the Springsteen touch... They are still as valid as they ever were for the most part.
