Labels: Online Folk Festival, Top 40

You know it's a good week when you check the mail and find folk disks from both Bruce Springsteen and David Wilcox. I've added a couple of the tracks from each to the Online Folk Festival.

The new Bruce Springsteen disk, We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions, is better than I had anticipated, and I anticipated that it would be pretty darn good.

I've also received the new disk from David Wilcox, entitled Vista. It will be in general release in mid-June. It's also pretty darn good, and I've added tracks from that one as well.

I will be posting a review of each disk after I've lived with each of them for a few more days.
