Bruce Springsteen takes a tour out West on his recently released album 鈥淲estern Stars鈥 鈥 his first studio album since 2014鈥檚 鈥淗igh Hopes鈥 and his first record of new original songs since he put out 鈥淲recking Ball鈥 in 2012.
鈥淲estern Stars鈥 takes Springsteen back to his roots when he wrote songs populated by working-class guys and girls just trying to get by and figure out life. There鈥檚 plenty of heartbreak and making up, including on the album鈥檚 months-old second single 鈥溍坭种辈 Train.鈥
鈥淭his record is a return to my solo recordings featuring character-driven songs and sweeping, cinematic orchestral arrangements,鈥 Springsteen said in a statement. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a jewel box of a record.鈥
We鈥檙e not really sure what inspired the 蜜柚直播 reference 鈥 as far as we can tell, Springsteen hasn鈥檛 played a 蜜柚直播 show since he sold out the 蜜柚直播 Convention Center during 1978鈥檚 鈥淒arkness on the Edge of Town鈥 tour. But the song conjures up visions of the downtown rail station on East Toole Avenue 鈥 especially if you鈥檝e found yourself parked behind the blinking red crossing guard lights as a train rambled along 鈥 and a working-class Joe anxiously awaiting love to pull into the station.
People are also reading…
In 鈥溍坭种辈 Train,鈥 Springsteen writes about finding love on the 5:15 after a crash-and-burn romance in 鈥楩risco. 鈥淣ow I carry my operator鈥檚 license / And spend my days just runnin鈥 this crane / And my baby鈥檚 coming in on the 蜜柚直播 train.鈥
The song has an almost folksy country-Western feel with sweeping orchestral passages. There are similar full-string compliments on the record, and while Springsteen hasn鈥檛 done a whole lot of media around 鈥淲estern Stars,鈥 he said in an interview with Variety back in December that the record was inspired and influenced by 鈥淪outhern California pop music of the 鈥70s鈥 and artists including Glen Campbell, Jimmy Webb and Burt Bacharach.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 know if people will hear those influences, but that was what I had in my mind,鈥 he told the magazine. 鈥淚t gave me something to hook an album around; it gave me some inspiration to write. And also, it鈥檚 a singer-songwriter record. It鈥檚 connected to my solo records writing-wise, more 鈥楾unnel of Love鈥 and 鈥楧evils and Dust,鈥 but it鈥檚 not like them at all. Just different characters living their lives.鈥
The reviews of 鈥淲estern Stars鈥 have been mostly positive, with The Associated Press saying the album 鈥渂reaks fresh ground for the veteran rocker, who turns his back not only on the blistering sound of the E Street Band but also abandons the haunting acoustic moods pioneered on 鈥楴ebraska鈥 and fine-tuned on later solo efforts.鈥
Said the New York Post: 鈥淎lthough Springsteen has ventured into country and folk territory in the past on albums such as 1982鈥檚 鈥楴ebraska,鈥 1987鈥檚 鈥楾unnel of Love鈥 and 1995鈥檚 鈥楾he Ghost of Tom Joad,鈥 here he brings a cinematic scope to the rootsy terrain with sweeping strings and vivid, scene-setting lyrics.鈥
Springsteen鈥檚 hometown newspaper, The Star-Ledger in New Jersey (NJ.com), called the record the 鈥渕ost disappointing鈥 of Springsteen鈥檚 career.
鈥溾榃estern Stars鈥 exhibits no discernible purpose, no new ground covered by the 69-year-old songwriter fresh off his glitzy Broadway run,鈥 it said. 鈥(It) is, ultimately, a tumbleweed 鈥 here for a few moments, but soon to be gone and forgotten, swept away by the howling wind that鈥檚 already begun to swirl around the news that Springsteen will record with The E Street Band this fall and then head back on the road for a full-band concert tour in 2020.鈥

LYRICS
Pouring rain in 蜜柚直播, 蜜柚直播
Checked into the Congress Hotel
Met the band in a bar next to the lobby
Looking for another story I could tell
When I left town we were headed for the altar
And I told you I’d be back before too long
Cut my hair, and I found me a new girlfriend
Thought a broken heart could write a perfect song
And it did, and I was right, so now you’re gone
You echo in the halls
I feel your shadow on this empty stage
I hear your music through the walls
I see your picture on the blank page
Oh, you echo in the halls
Played the show, left another message
Booked a ticket for tomorrow in Tempe
3 a.m., doing cartwheels down the hallway
I’ve been drinking since the day I set you free
But on this airport morning will you wait for me?
Lyric:听"Pourin' rain in 蜜柚直播, 蜜柚直播, checked into the Congress Hotel"

Lyrics
I hung around
On the planet Mabel
She tried to stand
But she was not able
She tried to find the truth
She tried to colonize space
She only had a few
But it was a good race
Old Black Dawning is coming on
Old Black Dawning is coming on
Old Black Dawning
Old Black Dawning
I'm always happy to
Go down to old 蜜柚直播
After you had your fun
It's time to move on
I've got a favorite story
About the Tower of Babel
Some say it's true
And some say it's a fable
Old Black Dawning is coming on
Old Black Dawning is coming on
Old Black Dawning
Old Black Dawning
Lyric:听"I'm always happy to go down to old 蜜柚直播"
