I am really impressed by this album. Apparently Bruce, feeling and exploring the weight of Pete Seeger’s influence, went to the store and bought all of Pete’s albums. A little while later came this album, Bruce’s reproduction of some of the signature songs. The big-band arrangement really works so well… it makes for a huge, full sound that borders on chaotic at all the right times. I appreciate how Bruce didn’t just replicate the material – he put his own spin on it, e.g. going from major keys to minor keys, and of course bringing his unique raspy Jerseyness to the table. Most of all… these songs are great, and I’m glad that Bruce has brought them back into the fold.
