Bruce Springsteen - Letter to You
Friday releases, courtesy of the coronavirus #44
Bruce Springsteen's 20th studio album, and his first with his regular backing group, the E Street Band, since the excellent "High Hopes", released in 2014.
The album was recorded live in Springsteen's home studio in November 2019, in just four days.
It includes three songs written before his 1973 debut album, "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.": "If I Was the Priest", "Janey Needs a Shooter" and "Song for Orphans".
The title track, Letter to You was released on September 10 as the album's first single and immediately earned plenty of praise.
On September 24, Springsteen released the second single, "Ghosts", a song dedicated to his high-school bandmates in The Castiles, all of whom have passed away except Springsteen.
It sounds like one of Springsteen's best albums of the past two decades.
Here, Springsteen looks back on friends who are no longer with us, including Clarence Clemons and Danny Federici. He confronts the pain of loss and growing old, while also celebrating the years gone by and the joy and happiness that music brings.
