Album Notes Personnel: Bruce Springsteen (vocals, various instruments); Ian McLagen (Hammond organ); Roy Bittan (keyboards); Randy Jackson (bass); Gary Mallabar (drums); Patti Scialfa, Lisa Lowell, Soozie Tyrell (background vocals); Roy Bittan. Producers: Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, Chuck Plotkin, Roy Bittan. Recorded at Thrill Hill Recording, Los Angeles, California.After a five year recording hiatus following the emotionally eloquent TUNNEL OF LOVE (and a subsequent world tour), Springsteen returned in 1992 with the tandem release of HUMAN TOUCH and LUCKY TOWN. Though released separately, both albums signalled the singer's more mature preoccupation with introspective, complicated themes of desire, despair and regret. The albums were also Springsteen's first without the full E Street Band. HUMAN TOUCH and LUCKY TOWN marry Springsteen's popular persona of fist-waving, stadium rocker with the more reflective, rootsier sound the singer favored on NEBRASKA.LUCKY TOWN's "Better Days" is Springsteen's forthright contemplation of his contradictory status as a multi-millionaire, working class hero. The slight Nashville lilt of "If I Should Fall Behind" is reminiscent of the sentimental balladry on BORN IN THE USA and "Leap of Faith" is a keening, raspy return to the Springsteen of anthemic yore. HUMAN TOUCH and LUCKY TOWN may never be revered in same way as some of his other releases, but both albums are immensely satisfying as a double shot farewell to the raucous rebelliousness of Springsteen's youthful rock and roll years.

Reviews  songs of love and self-reflection Came out at the same time as Human Touch, this was Bruce settled into life as a family man, writing songs about love and also a a few digs at himself (ie calling himself 'a rich man in a poor mans shirt' in Better Days and about buying a framed poster of himself in Local Hero with a couple of songs about life having shades of grey in Big Muddy. Adult rock for adults. Review ID: 10000000007575933 Was this review helpful? Report this review BRUCEReview created: 16/03/08 by: It has always been one of my favourite Bruce albums - particularly "If I Shoul Fall Behind", which I think might be his best song. Unfortunately my children lost my original CD so i had to buy it again. Review ID: 10000000006218128 Was this review helpful? Report this review Bruce Springsteen - Lucky Town (CD 2000)Review created: 21/03/07 by: The Sound on this Album is unique, its one of my favourite od bruce springsteen, its hard to believe but he is heavily influenced by Frank Sinatras' Music, telling from this album the lyrics are so meandering with the music, you just seem to get wrapped up into the whole of the ethos of the great man's sound! This Album is a treasure and the way each song seems to tell a way of a path of a story where the songs are and the history is amazing, some of the tracks though can be hard to hear thats not the production, buy a top cd player and speakers and this will give this album what it deserves out put of the greatest sound. LUCKY TOWN IS a great sound song, and you will get an album you will continue to play for a long time 5/5 A MUST! Review ID: 10000000003226473 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
