Bruce Springsteen is to release his latest album, inspired by folk legend Pete Seeger, on 24 Apr. 'We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions' is made up of the American star's take on 13 traditional songs long associated with Seeger, and is accompanied by a DVD featuring behind the scenes footage of the recording process.
Springsteen says: "So much of my writing, particularly when I write acoustically, comes straight out of the folk tradition. Making this album was creatively liberating because I have a love of all those different roots sounds... they can conjure up a world with just a few notes and a few words."
Springsteen is expected to announce a US and European tour shortly.
