Glastonbury 2009 Diary: Part 2

Hospitality Campgrounds Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat. It seems in my hurry to buy an economy tent the previous day I'd forgotten to get one with some sort of window or breeze system. The forecast once again calls for rain, and yet, judging by the 40-degree Celsius weather in this tent, the...

Bruce Springsteen — Road Trip: 40 Years Of The Boss

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) May 20, 2009 11:51 am
Don't let the title of this DVD fool you. This is neither a live document of New Jersey's favourite son, nor does it tackle any of the material he's produced since his Born In The U.S.A. peak. This two-disc affair chronicles the Boss' career assent through the '70s and offers a critical appraisement of his recorded output running up through his...

The seats and floor section were both sparsely populated when the show was slated to start at 8 p.m., but filled in very quickly when the lights went down 15 minutes later and Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band launched into "Badlands." Practically the entire arena sang along and raised their arms in the air during the chorus, and...

Bruce Springsteen — Working On A Dream

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 28, 2009 2:50 pm
If there's any singer/songwriter with a 30-plus-year career who's still relevant and has something to offer younger generations, it's Bruce Springsteen. Working On A Dream was released a week after the inauguration of U.S. president Barack Obama, and the reasons are quite obvious. Let's forget that the title track could easily be seen as a paean...

Bruce Springsteen — Magic

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) October 23, 2007 11:05 am
The name Bruce Springsteen is sure to evoke reverence in most, and it should. Why else would they call him The Boss? For Magic, Springsteen has reunited with his E Street Band for the first time since 2002's The Rising. The result isn't an overtly political record. In the hands of someone as deft a songwriter as Springsteen, politics are...

Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band — Live In Dublin

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) June 12, 2007 8:35 pm
Springsteen's Seeger Sessions album from last year was a breath of fresh air despite showcasing material that dated back as far as the 1800s. The singer-songwriter seemed rejuvenated and happy to be interpreting other people's songs while backed by an impressive group of musicians capable of recreating the American roots music songbook. That...

Bruce Springsteen — We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) April 25, 2006 1:18 pm
Born In The U.S.A. finally made Springsteen a household name in 1984, and this is his first album that I could happily listen to repeatedly since then. You won't find a more American album than this, but not in the jingoistic, flag-waving Toby Keith sense. We Shall Overcome draws on material from the past few hundred years and you'll hear a...

Bruce Springsteen — Devils & Dust

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) April 26, 2005 12:06 pm
The man who was once heralded as "the new Dylan" has returned from a brilliant turn with his E Street Band to his version of the old Dylan. With songs written over the course of the last decade, Bruce Springsteen’s new solo album isn’t as consistently stark as 1982’s Nebraska, but it follows the same formula of Americana-style narrative...

Bruce Springsteen — The Rising

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) July 30, 2002 9:50 am
The Rising has not only been hyped as Bruce Springsteen's first record with the E Street Band since 1984's Born In The U.S.A., but it's also his first since September 11, a theme that runs throughout the 15-song album. Thankfully, The Boss keeps his working-class heroics subtle and personal — the boisterous E Streeters have aged nearly 20 years...
