The E Street Band will land in Philips this April. “The Boss” has just released his 24th album
“Working On A Dream” which was recorded and mixed here in Atlanta.
Reviews on this upbeat album have been very positive and ranks as one of his best. Bruce’s “Queen of the Supermarket” is a romantic storytelling song of a guy and a checkout girl. “The Last Carnival” is Springsteen’s farewell to long time associate and friend Frederici who passed away last year due to melanoma. Another track worth mentioning is his griity acoustic on “The Wrestler” in which Mickey Rourke was nominated for best actor at the Acadamy Awards.
For those of you who don’t already know, “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen, is still around because of his great music and ability to put on an outstanding show. His ageless youth at 59 and the E Street Band’s progressive rythms, guitar leads, and keyboards bring us back to the heart and soul of honest music.
