Today’s New CD Releases
A few weeks ago when I first heard the new CD “The Rising” from Bruce Springsteen, of who I am a huge fan, I was blown away! Easily it earned 5 stars our of 5. Then my good friend Bruce, a different Bruce, asked me if it was actually good or was I just a fan. I answered that it was good! That I loved it! My comment was that there was “…just something about how Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band sounds that makes this record special.”
And now, after spending the past month listening to the CD, I must profess that I like it even more. I have been listening to this CD literally non- stop at home and at work since I first found it and the songs on this disc are so powerful that even after multiple, multiple listens they continue to move me. It is the perfect reaction piece to how we have all been feeling since last September. Angry, sad, empty, rejuvenated, passionate, etc.
To me, it is a masterpiece!
But will you like it?
Well, if you enjoy thoughtful, thought provoking, well written music that says something other that “It’s Hot In Here” or “The World’s Been Empty Without Me” then you will. If music can move you, then you will.
