Album Description
Available in:
Devils and Dust est le 14e album studio de Bruce Springsteen. Il est sorti le 25 avril 2005 en Europe et le 26 avril 2005 aux États-Unis.
L'album a été classé premier du Billboard 200 en 2005. Bruce Springsteen a reçu le "Grammy award" de "Best rock solo vocal performance" pour "Devils and Dust" en 2006.
L'album est un Dualdisc à double face, une est un CD audio et l'autre est un DVD avec les chansons en son Dolby stereo et un film de Bruce Springsteen qui interprète cinq titres.
"Devils and Dust" a été écrit en 2003, au début de la guerre d'Irak. Une version acoustique figure sur la face DVD de l'album.
Springsteen reprend "All the Way Home" qu'il avait composé pour Southside Johnny sur son album "Better Days".
"Reno" raconte une aventure avec une prostituée sur la côte Ouest, ".. Said, Here's to the best you ever had. We laughed and made a toast. It wasn't the best I ever had, not even close". Les paroles jugées explicites ont entrainé la pose d'une étiquette d'avertissement.
"Long time comin'" avait initialement été écrite en 1996 pour l'album The Ghost of Tom Joad, Springsteen l'avait interprété en concert mais ce titre figure pour la première fois dans un album studio.
"Jesus Was an Only Son" est une chanson sur l'impuissance des parents face au destin de leur(s) enfant(s):
Now there's a loss that can never be replaced
A destination that can never be reached
A light you'll never find in another's face
A sea whose distance cannot be breached
"Leah" est à propos d'une serveuse du restaurant Harry's Roadhouse de Asbury Park au New Jersey.
Springsteen a écrit "The Hitter" pendant la tournée The Ghost of Tom Joad en 1996, il l'a interprétée une fois en novembre 1996, bien avant son enregistrement en 2005.
"Matamoros Banks" est un retour vers le passé, la mort d'un homme dans le Rio Grande et sa traversée auparavant dans le désert mexicain, avec l'abandon de celle qu'il aime mais doit quitter. Matamoros est une ville portuaire au sud du Rio Grande, à la frontière avec les États-Unis.
User Album Review
My CD player has turned into a rock critic. No sooner was the Devils And Dust album loaded than the display was protesting "BAD DISC". Sadly no-one at Sony Music seems to have had the guts to tell The Boss that.
This is his 13th studio album and that's unlucky for the millions of devotees who will have bought it on trust, only to find it's a self indulgent rag bag of second rate songs. If you're not already into Springsteen please don't start here.
Because you won't find the trademark poetry and pathos of songs like "Atlantic City", "The River", "Racing In The Street" or "Thunder Road". You won't hear his distinctive delivery as he flirts with Neil Young style falsetto, Dylan-esque mumbling, and the summery sound of Mungo Jerry. Yes, listen out for "In the Summertime" Springsteen style.
This must be his Woodie Guthrie tribute album. Having turned his back on the urban post industrial decay of the East Coast (oh get me!)he's sadlled up and, accompanied by the likes of the Nashville Strings, headed out West. The trail leads us through the rugged mountains and sparkling streams of the "Caroline", the swamps of Louisiana, and the open plains of Oklahoma and Texas. We even find him, trousers down, in a Nevada whorehouse.
Cars have been replaced by prancing ponies. Meanstreets by stony tracks, the Jersey shoreline by the Rio Grande. Even Mary, his love interest in so many of his songs has gone TexMex.She's now Maria. So grab your favourite cowboy/girl, crack open a bottle of bourbon, sit out under the stars and enjoy. Because, with some really neat picking, great Steve Earle style guitar licks and fine fiddling this "Bruce-lite album" is a great sound.
Shame that the guy who gave us "Born To Run" thirty years ago in November, seems to have run out of steam.
