Another Classic from The Boss

As well as recording and now touring with the E Street Band again, Bruce Springsteen has been busy with the Sessions Band, with which he recorded "We Shall Overcome," a tribute of sorts to the music and times of Pete Seger.
But the CD that has barely left my CD player or Val's car CD player is "Live in Dublin: Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band," an expanded band of sorts backing Springsteen during a three-night residency at a Dublin club. More than two hours of great music featured on the "We Shall Overcome" CD, plus serious reworkings of the Boss's older songs, including "Atlantic City," "Open All Night" and "Further On (Up the Road)."
Springsteen and company sound like they are having a great time, the crowd jumps in with repeated sing-alongs and the music, with the particular help of the horn section, takes a serious New Orleans sound, as Val accurately pointed out to me.
