Bruce Springsteen records 1913 song
Rock legend to duet with Dropkick Murphys on song called Peg O' My Heart.
Bruce Springsteen will appear on the new album by Dropkick Murphys singing a 1913
song called Peg O' My Heart.
Peg O' My Heart was composed by Alfred Bryan and Fred Fisher and
featured in the 1913 musical Ziegfeld Follies.
The song, performed by Max Harris and his Novelty Trio (based on a version by
The Harmonicats), was used as the theme of the Dennis Potter's BBC
television series The Singing Detective in 1986.
Springsteen duets with frontman Ken Casey on a cover of the song and Casey
said of the duet: "It links two generations. We're spanning a lot of years
of music here, yet our songs share similar themes, stories, and values."
The track features on the band's seventh studio album Going Out In Style,
due for release on February 28. The album also features a guest appearance
from NOFX frontman Fat Mike.
