Search - Bruce Springsteen :: Devils & Dust (Bonus Dvd)

If You Don't Like This Album, You Don't Like Music.

"This album is a very fitting entry into Springsteen's solo acoustic collection. Do not get this album hoping for an E Street Band burst of energy. Do get this album to hear why Bruce is so frequently placed with Bob Dylan as a lyrical master. The Boss' ability to tell a narrative through a simple song, with a minimal amount of words has always floored me. Anyone who follows his lyrics closely will find all of "what the boss does" represented here. There are songs of social concern, songs of lost love, songs that are a well-spring of hope, songs of eternal damnation and songs that just pure fun.



Check this, The Ghost of Tom Joad and Nebraska out to see why Springsteen is an artist as well as a showman. You won't be disappointed. Unless, of course, you don't like music."

Addictive and Hypnotic

"This collection of music is poignant and at times dark, but always enticing. While I love the rocking side of Bruce, this is my favorite Bruce album. Could have done without the F*** word and the sexual explicit content, which restricts the potential listening audience."

A Great Album

"One Of His Best Album He Ever Did. For Those Who Don't Like His Acoustic Stuff Don't Know What Real Music Is. I Like Pretty Much All His Albums With and Without The E Street Band. Listen To For The Music. He Has Never Been Better Than He Is On This Album. I Really Like "Reno." Some Other Great Songs Are The Title Track, "Long Time Comin'", "Matamoros Banks", "The Hitter", and "Black Cowboys." For You Young People Learn What Quality Is Because I'm Sick Of Listening To The Junk That's Out There Today. The Boss Is A Real Musician. So If You Want Real Music Get This."
