Seeger Sessions is #29

Rolling Stone magazine has come out with their top 50 albums of 2006 and our man owns the number 29 spot for We Shall Overcome. Bob Dylan's 'Modern Times' holds down the top album.

Here's what they have to say about the record:

"The stories in these songs are as old as the Oklahoma Dust Bowl and sixteenth-century Scotland. But the truths and lessons of natural disaster, war and citizenship are as immediate as New Orleans, Iraq and the midterm elections. These big-band treatments combine Dixieland brass, cantina accordions and barn-dance fiddles and feature Springsteen in rough but vintage jubilant voice -- as if John Henry himself is hammering those spikes through the stage at the Stone Pony."

In the same vein, they also put out a list of the top 100 songs of 2006 and "How can a poor man" lands at #24:

"Springsteen honors New Orleans' fight against nature and FEMA with an uplifting version of this Depression-era ballad, updated with heated new lyrics."
