Letter To You
2020
I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this one because at this point, you either like Bruce Springsteen or you don’t.
Technically speaking, while Letter To You appears to be labeled a Bruce Springsteen album, it’s a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band album. But the same principle applies, you either like them, or you don’t.
Letter To You is very on-brand for Springsteen and company.
That said, this is one of the strongest Springsteen albums I’ve heard in years.
Letter To You starts a little murky with “One Minute You’re Here.” I was afraid I was going to be stuck listening to this kind of stuff.
Springsteen is 71 now, and like anything that’s been around awhile, it takes a while to get going. And it doesn’t take long for Springsteen and the E Street Band to lock in and get the hell goin!
“Letter To You,” “Burnin’ Train,” “Janey Needs a Shooter” (someone needs to tell Bruce she already has a gun), they all sound like your typical Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band song…
