Bruce Springsteen is rolling out his new tracks one day at a time.
On Monday, The Boss released "Easy Money" on Backstreets.com, the second track off his new album Wrecking Ball, and "Shackled And Drawn" streamed on Rollingstone.com on Tuesday. Springsteen will release the remaining nine tracks on different sites through Friday, March 2.
I hated the new Springsteen album. Call me crazy, but I think a Springsteen album should have more guitars than fiddles on it.
And seriously, a rapper comes on to do a verse? What is that?
This is not an E Street Band record, so it has more in common with Nebraska and The Seeger Sessions. More folk, than rock. Tom Morello does play solos on two of the songs.
New album of previously unknown/unreleased Wes Montgomery tracks released today: http://itun.es/iSt7Vh
Quote:
With a lot of sleuthing and a team of experts on the case, long lost tapes of Wes Montgomery have been discovered and restored. Resonance Records will release Echoes of Indiana Avenue - the first full album of previously unheard Montgomery music in over 25 years - on March 6, 2012, which would have been Montgomery's 88th birthday. Over a year and a half in the making, the release will provide a rare, revealing glimpse of a bona fide guitar legend. The tapes are the earliest known recordings of Montgomery as a leader, pre-dating his auspicious 1959 debut on Riverside Records. The album showcases Montgomery in performance from 1957-1958 at nightclubs in his hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana, as well as rare studio recordings. The release is also beautifully packaged, containing previously unseen photographs and insightful essays by noted music writers and musicians alike, including guitarist Pat Martino and Montgomery's brothers Buddy and Monk.

The new Springsteen album, Wrecking Ball, is excellent. There are a couple of throwaway songs, but the good songs are so good. I was surprised at how much I enjoy the studio version of Land of Hope and Dreams, which has been played live since the late 90s.
The performances on Fallon last week makes me really want to go see the band on tour. Hopefully they'll come closer in the autumn.
