The Boss to do an 'Americana' tour...

For folks that don't already know, Bruce Springsteen will be touring this year without the E Street Band. Instead, he will incorporate a large band format into his show and focus on material from his upcoming album which is essentially a tribute to the music that Pete Seeger made famous. As a fan of Americana music this will be the first time that I try to get to a Springsteen show since he did the benefit shows at MSG for SIDS.

The New York Times had an article on-line today (see various versions below, for your viewing pleasure) that offers some insight into the upcoming album and follow-up tour. The reporter had the privilege of attending tour warmups that were occurring in Asbury Park. Thanks to my buddy, Bob, for forwarding the article. All material (article and pictures) is copywrited by the respective copywrite holders.
