Bruce Springsteen Devils And Dust Rock Music Cd Review
By Clyde Lee Dennis
Bruce Springsteen, the richly talented Rock artist has released him latest CD titled Devils and Dust and Wow! It’s really a good one.
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Devils and Dust. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Rock fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Soozie Tyrell and Patti Scialfa plus a few other notables as well.
Listen and I think you’ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Bruce Springsteen is clearly in top form.
While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - All The Way Home, track 4 - Long Time Comin', and track 8 - Jesus Was An Only Son
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 10 - The Hitter. Great track!
