Here are some quotes from a recent interview centering around his new release "We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions": Springsteen had no concerns about audience reaction to his foray into a new musical landscape. He expects "the adventurous part of my fans" will enjoy the album. And he considers change a requirement for any successful musician. "Your job as an artist is to build a box, and then let people watch you escape from it," Springsteen explained. "And then they follow you to the next box, and they watch you escape from that one. ... Escape artistry is part of the survival mechanism of the job. "If you want to do the job well, you have got to be able to escape from what you've previously built." So much for putting people in boxes. Hey I know I said something 'bout that before. Saw Tom Russell with guitar/mandolin player Michael Martin at Stony Brook this past rain soaked Sunday. Wow!
