Springsteen's sequel to Nebraska
Bruce Springsteen is a rock icon because of thoughtful lyrics set to a rock sound. He did not begin to gain wide spread notice and sustained success until he departed from the folk style of his first two albums and released a rock album, which was both a commerical and critical hit.Springsteen likes this type of Dylanese folk whatever style of music and is rich enough to spend the time and money to make and release these type of albums.If you like listening to Springsteen play and sing by himself, you will love this CD. However, if you listen to Springsteen for rock do not waste your money (or your time) on this CD; rather, you might wait for the current tour with the E Street Band to end and hope for a live album. I do.
