BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
LETTER TO YOU
WW
COLUMBIA
★★★★☆
Which steroids are they putting in 71-year-old Bruce Springsteen’s water? Ten to 15 years ago, worthy though he was, his sell-by date seemed imminent. Last year’s Western Stars, however, was a stirring, sentimental reminder of his enduring dignity. Now, Letter To You, which reunites him with The E Street Band, finds him firing on all cylinders again, reminding us of a pre-Trump America whose greatness didn’t depend upon prejudice and in which celebrations of the ordinary working man were sincere.
