Bruce Springsteen will return in March with Wrecking Ball, according to a listing on iTunes. The legendary musician’s 17th LP comprises 11 tracks and appears to include (and take its name from) “Wrecking Ball”, a tribute to the late Giants Stadium, which he previously debuted live.
The album’s opening track and lead single, “We Take Care of Our Own”, is available for purchase beginning Thursday, January 19th. Press for the album promises “unexpected textures – loops, electronic percussion… influences and rhythms from hip-hop to Irish folk,” however, this single is trademark E Street Band. “We take care of our own/wherever this flag is flown,” Springsteen sings in this politically charged call to arms, which sees him accompanied by guitar, keyboard, and strings.

Heard the first single on the radio this afternoon... I'll reserve judgement until I give it a better listen or 3.
I was quick to judge the VH single, which I actually now like a little better than the first listen having heard it a few times (Still don't think it's anything special).

I bought the track off iTunes today, and I've listened to it probably 20 times and all I can say is Love it, Love it, Love it! Granted it is going to be misinterpreted by many as a flag-waving anthem but check out the lyrics, much deeper and more cynical. I love the production, a soaring, catchy anthem! Plus it has the best use of strings in a rock song in some time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Bz0d2xm7UPlay it a few times, it will sink it's hooks in you!

Hammer me all you want, but this guy is the real deal, always was and always will be.
Thanks Kim
