The 13 tracks on 'Western Stars' encompass a sweeping range of American themes, of highways and desert spaces, of isolation and community and the permanence of home and hope. Ron Aniello produced the album with Springsteen and plays bass, keyboard, and other instruments. Patti Scialfa provides vocals and contributes vocal arrangements on four tracks. The musical arrangements include strings, horns, pedal steel and contributions from more than 20 other players including Jon Brion (who plays celeste, Moog and farfisa), as well as guest appearances by David Sancious, Charlie Giordano and Soozie Tyrell. The album was mixed by 13-time Grammy winner Tom Elmhirst. Review: Darkness on the Edge of Tucson - On Tucson Train, the third track on his new album, Western Stars, Bruce Springsteen sings of getting "tired of the pills and the rain" and of heading "for the sunshine" where "a little peace would make everything right." Never one to rest on his laurels, Springsteen has once more left the eastern seaboard he knows so well and which has seemingly dominated his every waking hour these last few years; on his records, in his memoirs and, no less, as a result of his long residency on Broadway re-imagining aspects of his life and music on stage. But going out west once more, as he did at the start of his career and in a middle period that brought the 'difficult' records Human Touch and Lucky Town, you might think Bruce attempting to uncover western Americana this late in life might be an unwise move. Oh, ye of little faith. What a gorgeous, evocative, life-affirming record this is. Sentimentalism is derided in our world today; sloppy, mawkish and drippy say those hard-nosed critics who never waited for their "baby coming on the Tucson train." But here Springsteen weaves the past into a mythology that is as much his audience's as it is his own autobiographical balladry. It's a sentimentality in other words that is still filled with the regret and realism that dominates so many of Springsteen's greatest records, and where lives are at best only half-fulfilled. "Drive Fast" is a tale of a body literally and metaphorically crumbling in the face of age and a job they're far too old for. The title track delicately echoes some of that imagery in "Racing in the Street" with Bruce informing us how he takes rides in his El Camino and was once shot by John Wayne. On the drama of "Chasin' Wild Horses" and especially "Sundown", these "ain't the kind of places you want to be on your own" evoking the widescreen emptiness of Nebraska and the desperate plaintive cries of recent classic tracks like "Queen of the Supermarket" and "Last to Die". "Moonlight Motel" closes out the album in typically mournful manner, with our hero dreaming of their lover last night, while the lonely bed reminds him of a past that can't be recaptured, as graceful and gorgeous as the tales that adorn "Downbound Train" or "Valentine's Day" from Tunnel of Love, Springsteen's masterpiece of understated love and loss that Western Stars bears comparison with, and I for one thought I'd never be able to say that again about a Springsteen album. "Stones" and "There goes my Miracle" are possibly the record's standout moments but there's so many to choose from, you'll all have songs here that follow you through to your dying days. Some critics have already described this as a late career classic. It is in fact simply one of the best albums this remarkable recording artist has ever made. Recommended. Review: Classic album - This is one of my favourite Springsteen albums. In my opinion, there isn't a bad track on it. It's like the Darkness on the Edge of Town album, a real classic. The price I paid was excellent too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07QXTFR73 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,203 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 81 in British Invasion Rock | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (7,678) | | Label | Columbia | | Manufacturer | Columbia | | Manufacturer reference | 19075941972 | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 12.73 x 14.3 x 0.64 cm; 58.97 g | ## Images ![Western Stars - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810DM4-ynZL.jpg) ![Western Stars - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G42ynpBkL.jpg) ![Western Stars - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710DbElRqhL.jpg) ![Western Stars - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rQ7WX6SsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Darkness on the Edge of Tucson *by M***0 on 14 June 2019* On Tucson Train, the third track on his new album, Western Stars, Bruce Springsteen sings of getting "tired of the pills and the rain" and of heading "for the sunshine" where "a little peace would make everything right."
