Bruce Springsteen - Working On A Dream


Bruce Springsteen - Working On A Dream

This is Bruce's 29th album, including all his live albums and compilations, which is an amazing back catalogue for any artist. His work has touched the hearts and lives of millions, and Working On A Dream is no different.



 Tracklisting:

1. Outlaw Pete
2. My Lucky Day
3. Working On A Dream
4. Queen Of The Supermarket
5. What Love Can Do
6. This Life
7. Good Eye
8. Tomorrow Never Knows
9. Life Itself
10. Kingdom Of Days
11. Surprise Surprise
12. The Last Carnival
Bonus Track: The Wrestler

Well, it's a typical Springsteen album, full of tales of his life, personal anecdotes and an undertone of the angst that was there in his earlier records returns in the album's highest point; Queen Of The Supermarket. The musical side of things is fantastic, and all the credit for this should be going to Nils, Steve and the gang, they all gel together like family, and it shines through. The usual singalongs are there, in Outlaw Pete, Working On A Dream and My Lucky Day especially, although the whole album is a high for The Boss and his E Street Band. There is a reason people call him that, and if anything, this album reassures everyone that the nickname is well deserved and very appropriate for a man of 60, who is still making albums of this calibre.

Ranking: 10/10
Listen To: My Lucky Day, The Wrestler, Outlaw Pete, Working On A Dream

Avoid: None, they all fit together to make the album what it is.
