Magic
Bruce Springsteen
Columbia Records, 2007
Bruce and Magic
Bought the CD for my husband who loves it, and he has a lot of Bruce.
I have downloaded it to my Ipod and have started to listen to it. Some really fine songs on it, but I have not played enough to give a more detailed review. If hubby is happy, it was well worth ...

Live In Dublin
Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band
Sony, 2007
A Must-Have for Bruce Devotees
I opted out of seeing Bruce during the Seeger sessions concert tour, but I watched the concert live from Dublin on television and halfway through the show went online to buy this CD. It's fantastic. It opens with a new version of "Atlantic City" that had me tapping ...

We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions
Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 2006
Back to the future
This is indeed a wonderful rediscovery of American musical traditions which, I believe, are being relegated to the archives. The Smithsonian does a good job of protecting it from extinction.Bruce Springsteen has made the music and the free flowing atmosphere in which ...

Bruce Springsteen - Greatest Hits
Bruce Springsteen
Columbia, 1995
One collection of the Boss' greatest hits
Anytime a major artist releases a CD labeled "Greatest Hits," all bets are off! There will always be disagreements over what is (or should be) on the CD. Surely no difference here, as one can see from the variety of reviews already posted.
However, my own sense is ...

The River
Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 1990
Bruce Springsteen, one of the Masters
Let's face it, a lot of younger artists grew up with Springsteen's music, and his music was part of shaping their future. And he is still as magical as he ever was.

The Essential Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 2003
The point
I have read most of the reviews on this. The fact that a live "Trapped" was included made this entire collection worth the $30.
Isn't the point of being a music artist and selling music to keep putting out material that you... the fan... will WANT to buy? What would ...

Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Bruce Springsteen-Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Dealing with subjects like betrayal, broken promises, Darkness On The Edge Of Town plays out like the continuation of this albums predisessor Born To Run except only twice as dark and Melancholy, and yet twice as ...

Born in the U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 1990
BORN AGAIN ! (like Born To Run a decade before it, Born In The U.S.A. is a Bruce Springsteen masterpiece)
Is Born in the U.S.A. too commercial? A sellout? No way! If you remember the 1980s like I do, the songs from Born in the U.S.A. (1984) were like lifelines to authentic rock n' roll on the radio for us die hard 1960-70s rockers. Sure, the album had an updated sound that ...

Born to Run
Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 1990
Not a bad song in the bunch
"Born to Run" was the hallmark of my generation. I first had the vinyl and believe me that record served its time on my poor turntable that needed 41 cents to prevent the tonearm from skating. As soon as I could afford a cassette deck, I bought the tape. "Born to Run" ...

Live In New York City (2CD)
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Sony, 2001
10th Avenue Freeze-Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to confess: this version of 10th Ave. Freeze-Out brought tears to my eyes. And for one simple reason. I never saw a concert of The Boss and his E-Street Band. They never came to Brazil to play. "Oh, they are too americans" people say here. Oh, what a shame. ...

Nebraska
Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 1990
Tales of cops and robbers
If you painted pictures from these songs, they'd be in starkest black and white with splashes of red. The music itself is stark--just Bruce singing with his guitar and a harmonica howling sharp.
The title track is probably one of the scariest songs I have ever ...

Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 (2CD)

Rocks the house down
Like everyone else, Bruce has the "best live show ever". And if this and Live 1975/1985 are any indication, he deserves that reputation. Think "sheer, combustible energy". So if the bombastic arrangements of Born to Run weren't to your tastes (though they certainly are ...

The Rising
Bruce Springsteen
Sony, 2002
Hitting Home
This record is nothing less than Springsteen at his best. It's like I woke up to the Boss in his heyday again. It's hard to believe that the cataclysmic events of September 11, 2001 have channeled one of rock's greatest voices in such a mesmerizing way. How ...
