Springsteen on Ennio Morricone Tribute

Bruce Springsteen has contributed an instrumental version of "Once Upon a Time in the West" to the recently released tribute album "We All Love Ennio Morricone". Springsteen has been a fan of Morricone's work for years. During The River tour, the song he has now recorded was used as an intro to "Badlands", and the original Morricone version was heard each night at the end of every Tom Joad show during 1996/97. Both the Boss and the Maestro met during that tour's stop in Rome, in 1996.

Two nominations, two wins

Bruce Springsteen won yesterday in L.A. two Grammy awards. He was nominated, and won, in two categories:

Best Traditional Folk Album ("We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions")

Best Long Form Video ("Wings For Wheels: The Making of Born to Run")

The big winners were The Dixie Chicks, with five awards for their album "Taking the Long Way". Bob Dylan got a Grammy for "Modern Times" (Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album), and The Police reunited and sang "Roxanne".
