Devils and Dust

Managed to grab an early copy of Bruce Springsteen’s new album on the weekend. Devils and Dust is a great work. Its pretty dark in places but with presence of light through it all, spiritual and worldly, sparse and full. He impresses me greatly. A great hold and understanding of the human journey despite his own success story. Highly recommended. Chris (tour manager) just called me this morning form the USA. He was on his way back from Seattle to Vancouver having seen U2. He said it was amazing, like a religious experience. The world is so much better for artists like this, lifting our chins to truth and pain. And how they will be missed in the future at some point, especially as there seem to be few fit to tie there boot laces following on.
