Both, actually. You can get either separately, or both as a set, which I think is the best deal. There actually is a "studio" album called, "We Shall Overcome", but it only contains the folk covers. I put "studio" in quotes because it was actually recorded at Bruce's house, with all the musicians there at the same time, as opposed to the typical studio setup these days. It's kind of cool when you hear him call out to somebody for a solo.
On "Live in Dublin", on the other hand, you get both the folk tunes as well as re-workings of Bruce's own songs, some of which I think are just brilliant. I'll confess, I held off buying it for a long time (I didn't see that tour) because I was pretty sure I would hate it, and I was amazed at how much I loved it.
The band Bruce is out with right now is kind of a mixture of both the Sessions Band, and the E Street Band, and I think he's having a ball with it, because it opens up more setlist possibilities for him. The show he did in New Orleans at Jazz Fest, for example, they played several of the SSB tunes along with the E Street stuff.

The banjo player's name is Frank Bruno; I'm pretty sure he's Bruce's cousin. A couple of my other favorites are his reworkings of "Long Time Comin'" and "Highway Patrolman".
