Departing from his usual heartland rock, the artist assembled a large acoustic ensemble to reinterpret traditional folk songs popularized by Pete Seeger. The sessions were recorded live in a farmhouse with no rehearsals, capturing a raw, communal energy. It pays homage to the roots of American protest and roots music.
