More than forty years after his Dylan-influenced debut, New Jersey man Bruce Springsteen is still wielding his trusty Telecasters and singing about the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. He redefined seventies rock with Born To Run, invented lo-fi acoustic recording in 1982 with Nebraska, and has been faithful to his backing band the E Street Band ever since the early seventies. But all this wouldn’t mean anything without great songs, and that’s where Bruce shines : his songwriting is as good as it ever was, and that really is saying something.
