Bruce Springsteen album Letter To You turns everything we love about the artist into a seamless listening experience

Firstpost  

With the release of his 20th album Letter to You last month, Springsteen has attained a position no other artist has: He’s become the first artist in history to have a chart-topping album in each of the last six decades. The earliest memory I can access with ease from the reserves of my mind, is a distinct visual of watching my uncle in skin-tight 80s-style jeans, flapping his legs and clapping hands a la Bruce Springsteen, swirling me around as the newly-released ‘Dancing in the Dark’ plays on loop. Even in the outstanding ‘Thunder Road’, Bruce goes: “With a chance to make it good somehow / Hey what else can we do now? / Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair.” Over the decades he has given us so many anthems for so many occasions and life moments: ‘From Streets of Philadelphia’ to ‘Born in the USA’, from ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’ to ‘Glory Days’.
