Dublin’s Highway Patrolman
The Seeger Sessions fall tour hit Dublin a few nights ago for a 3 night stand. On night two, Bruce began to sing…
My name is Joe Roberts I work for the state / I’m a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8 I always done an honest job as honest as I could I got a brother named Franky and Franky ain’t no good.
That’s right, it was “Highway Patrolman”, Seeger Sessions style. What do you think?
Bruce Springsteen & the Seeger Sessions Band: Highway Patrolman (mp3) – live from The Point, Dublin, Ireland, November 18, 2006.
MP3 Note: you’ll have to turn this one up a little. May I remind you to turn down your speakers or iPod immediately after the song or you will experience an unpleasant jolt like I just did.
Buy the Seeger Sessions: The American Land Edition.
Buy Nebraska.
