Bruce Springsteen - Rocky Ground (Official video)
“There’s a little story I wanna tell you…” Bruce Springsteen, Harvard Square Theatre, Cambridge, May 1974
Bruce had a story for every song that night. And he wanted to tell you each one. You listened to every word. He engaged you. He pulled you in. And his hat was his tool. Like a drummer’s rim shot, he pointed it at you to mark an exclamation to a sentence or pulled it back to his head as he drew you in more to his tale. I don’t know which song this was, but in reviewing the set list i think it was ” I Sold My Heart to the Junkman”. A song, “So sad”, Bruce says, “That sometimes I have to leave the stage and cry…”
Bruce Springsteen’s new album, Wrecking Ball, managed to beat out Adele’s 21 for the number one spot this week, making it his tenth #1 album in the U.S. Congratulations, Boss!
Get ready for a virtual tour of Wrecking Ball. Beginning on Monday and leading up to the March 6 release, a new song each day will reveal all eleven tracks from Bruce Springsteen’s new album. We already know the album opener, “We Take Care of Our Own,” so the next ten weekdays will bring the remaining ten tracks, in order, streaming online.
We’ll kick it off right here on Backstreets.com, where you’ll be able to listen to track two of Wrecking Ball,”Easy Money,” all day Monday. From there, nine other partner websites in the U.S. will pick up the ball, each streaming a song over the next two weeks.
Look to Backstreets.com to be your tour guide for the next two weeks: We’ll keep you posted on where to go to stream each track in the U.S., and with help from our friends around the world, we’ll compile a list of sites where these songs can be heard internationally as well.

Can I just say I really like the way this photo speaks to the cover shot of Born to Run? It’s dark, it’s lonely, it’s the same guitar…
