Un tributo a Bruce Springsteen e al suo straordinario catalogo di canzoni realizzato da artisti italiani di area roots tra cui i Modena City Ramblers, Marino Severini dei Gang, i Cheap Wine, Daniele Tenca e solisti come Brando, Daniele Groff, Andrea Parodi e Massimiliano Larocca.
Ogni angolo del canzoniere del Boss è qui rappresentato con gusto e ammirazione, dagli esordi (“Growin’ Up”, “It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City”) e alle scorribande folk con la Seeger Session (“Eyes On The Prize”), dall’introspezione di Nebraska (“State Trooper”) e “The Ghost Of Tom Joad” (la title-track) all’esplosione rock di “Born To Run” e “The Rising”). Il cantautore salentino Luigi Mariano riadatta in italiano “Matamoros Banks” da Devils & Dust. “Guilty” e “The Train Song” sono due inediti del Boss che non troverete altrove.

A tribute to Bruce Springsteen and his extraordinary songs catalogue, made by Italian artists coming from the roots area; among them we have Modena City Ramblers, Marino Severini from Gang, Cheap Wine, Daniele Tenca, and soloists like Brando, Daniele Groff, Andrea Parodi and Massimiliano Larocca.
Every corner of Springsteen’s songbook is here represented with taste and admiration, from the beginning (“Growin’ Up”, “It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City”) to the Seeger Session folk episodes (“Eyes On The Prize”), from the Nebraska introspection (“State Trooper”) and “The Ghost Of Tom Joad”) to the rock explosion of “Born To Run” e “The Rising”). The songwriter from Salento Luigi Mariano readapts “Matamoros Banks” (from “devils & dust) into Italian. “Guilty” and “The Train Song” are two Bruce’s unreleased songs you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
