Bruce Springsteen

In the live recording of "Deportee" from May 13, 2021, Bruce Springsteen was in a fascinating chapter of his career. Just before this performance, he had released his critically acclaimed album "Letter to You" in October 2020, which marked a triumphant return, showcasing his signature storytelling abilities and the E Street Band's rich musicality. "Deportee" is a poignant cover of Woody Guthrie's song, speaking to themes of identity and displacement, incredibly relevant today. This performance resonates with Springsteen's long-standing commitment to social issues, reflecting his role as a voice for the voiceless. It's a reminder of how music can bridge generations, echoing Guthrie's legacy while reinforcing Springsteen's own impact on American folk and rock music.
