Bruce Springsteen: The Seeger Sessionshttp://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/bruce_springsteen_the_seeger_sessions/series_about_special.jhtmlCMT takes viewers behind the scenes with the making of Bruce Springsteen's 21st album, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. The album features Springsteen's personal interpretations of 13 traditional songs, all of them associated with the legendary guiding light of American folk music, Pete Seeger, for whom the album is named. Speaking of the origins of the new music, Springsteen said, "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."
