And it's difficult to pick a favourite. From Barnstorming rockers such as Mary's Place, Lonesome Day and the band's version of My City of Ruins, all with deeper and more meaningful lyrics than the fun, party Cadillac Ranch favourites of old , to the aching, broken-hearted characters on You're Missing and Paradise, Bruce has taken the horrific events at the Twin Towers and has produced songs from every angle. We get the survivor in 'Nothing Man', to the genuine heroes of 'Into The Fire' and 'The Rising', to the people left behind in 'Empty Sky', 'You're Missing' and 'Lonesome Day'. In 'World's Apart' he stops for a few minutes to preach love between cultures.
This is a truly remarkable record, stunningly played and produced. On one hand it is an exhilarating listen and yet, because of the subject matter, you will almost feel guilty for enjoying it so much. The irony of someone making his best record in decades based on such a massive tragedy is difficult at times to come to terms with. But if you like your music inspiring, thought-provoking, and filled with raw emotion go buy 'The Rising'.
What makes the album even more special is the wonderful production which gives so many of the tracks a raw 'live' feel which, anyone who has seen him live, will know is when Bruce really rocks. Too bad his only doing one England ccncert and so many fans, like myself, will have to make do with the album. It's not the same as the real thing but a damn good second best.
I have been playing this album for six weeks now and my first impression that it was a good album has grown stronger. This is an exceptional album. Buy it - it's Bruce on top form!
