On Letter To You, his twentieth album, Bruce Springsteen harks back to his heyday of the seventies and eighties with the E Street Band, which appears to have lost none of its old strength. The record satisfies the nostalgia of his old fans – or rather, the fans who love his old work – and why would you expect innovation from a 71-year-old too? Letter To You is above all a nice, honest rock album with a solid band sound and the necessary spiritual and universal theme. Vintage Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band anno 2020.
WHEN YOU look over his shoulder – strange how it works with Zooming – you can see the guitars in a neat row, the wooden beams, the recording equipment. A spacious, fully equipped luxury studio at home, or well, farm, surrounded by 378 acres of rolling New Jersey horse country. Admittedly none House Of A Thousand Guitars (like one of the songs on Letter To You hot), but there are many.
Springsteen looks neat, slim, tanned like an old Italian. There is nothing to notice about his widely reported depression. “I’m on pills, so I’m in a great mood,” he recently told Rolling Stone.
