Release Date
25 April 2006
A loose, exuberant throwdown of folk songs and traditionals popularized by Pete that can only be explained with commas: rock, folk, Dixieland, ragtime, gospel, French Quarter, honky-tonk, blues — in a word, American music. “Not music being written,” Springsteen writes, “but music being made.”
