Video of New Bruce Springsteen Song "John Henry"

<bruce-seeger.jpg


Over at the amazon.com product page for Bruce Springsteen's new album We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, you can watch a video of him recording the song "John Henry" with a full band playing hoedown style. Included are a string section, banjo, accordian and washboard guy. Sounds pretty awesome, much cooler than the dour Devils and Dust. People sometimes forget that protest music can be fun. Having a lovable old codger with a washboard strapped to his chest delivering your message makes it much more palatable to people, kind of like a guy in a clown suit that gives poison candy to your children in the park.

We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions comes out on April 25th
