NEW ALBUM: Bruce Springsteen "western stars"

[CRAZY-HORSE]

Spotify listen:

nineteenth studio album...
some acoustic folky type songs, some orchestrated tracks, some soft rock/pop...
its not a great (classic) Springsteen album on first listen, but I think there is enough
there to hear something new and continue to grow with each passing listen...
ive got to be honest and say I was expecting it to not only disappoint me but also to be full
of anti-Trump themes and messages, and im glad I was proved wrong on both accounts...
its not as solomn/dour as "ghost of Tom Joad" but at the same time  its not as catchy as the 
acoustic "Nebraska", it appears on a first up listen fit nicely between the two as a bridging album/companion piece...
he almost certainly isnt going to win over new fans with this album and all i can say is that
it simply a typical Springsteen album...
and it is obviously on the to purchase list...

very refreshing
rap considered
liked probably half of this
which is way above par
I think CH stole my favorite
but it was a close call with this one

single
Bruce is starting to look a lot like Willie

Finally got around to listening to this album. It's a classy affair. I wasn't taken with all the tracks but none were offensive. He's attained statesman of rock n roll status IMHO. Very tasteful.

^^Neither of you stole my favs which are "Stones" (love those strings) and the final cut ... 

(Lol MH - "Bruce is starting to look a lot like Willie" ... strange but true!)
