Western Stars

• Track Listing

Though Bruce’s new album was mostly recorded at his home studio in New Jersey, he drew most of the inspiration for these songs from his favorite Southern California pop records of the ’60s and ’70s. His first studio album in five years places finely etched characters in a sweepingly American landscape of deserts and highways, and the tracks are lush orchestrations of strings, horns, pedal steel and an array of keyboards and synths. Bruce sings stirring songs of home and hope as you hear "Hitch Hikin’," "The Wayfarer," "Tucson Train," "Somewhere North of Nashville," "Moonlight Motel," the title track and more. The breathlessly awaited new Springsteen album arrives now, on CD or double 150-gram gatefold vinyl(with download)! Columbia.
