Bruce Springsteen -- "John Henry"

The Boss aquits himself well in this track from The Seeger Sessions.  It's an acoustic version of the old folk classic, but not necessarily a traditional performance (of course, you'd never find drums in a genuine folk performance of the song), but it suits the style of Springsteen's more recent mode, which is a big inclusive (but still muscular) sound.  Springsteen has gone in and out of vogue among the music store hipsters, but I've always been a fan.
