Blogcritics Magazine puts the Seeger Sessions in 8th place in their top 10 albums of 2006. They say:
"I have been scolded for daring to heap anything but massive amounts of praise on this album. I will confess, I like it more than I thought I would and like it more now than I did upon its initial release (and subsequent repackaging). The Springsteen version of “Mrs. McGrath” will always make me cringe, but other songs from the record have grown on me. I would love it if this band reconvenes to record an album of Springsteen originals- the best of both worlds."The author, DJRadioHead, hits on a key point when he says that he likes the album more now than he did when it was initially released. A lot of die-hard Springsteen fans frowned on this release, vowed to never pick it up, see a show or hum Thunder Road again...until the live show reviews started piling in with heaping praise louder than the 16 piece band he toured with.
Also, is he the only one that didn't like Mrs. McGrath? How would you like this band to do original material?
