Through Pete Seeger's music, they inherit the spirit of American folk.
This album, featuring an acoustic arrangement, returns to Springsteen's folk song roots and reveals his musical roots. The sincerity with which he sings songs imbued with political messages and a warm gaze toward humanity is impressive. The soothing sounds of traditional instruments like the banjo and fiddle also make this album a reminder of the rich traditions of American music.
