10 years ago today (4/25/06), Bruce Springsteen released We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. This is Springsteen’s first and so far only album of non-Springsteen material and contains his interpretation of thirteen folk music songs made popular by activist folk musician Pete Seeger. . The subsequent Bruce Springsteen with The Seeger Sessions Band Tour expanded on the album’s musical approach. The band featured Charles Giordano on B3 organ, piano, and accordion who would later become a member of the E-Street band following the death of keyboardist Danny Federici in 2008. Watch “Pay Me My Money Down” from The Seeger Sessions live at BBC in 2006.
