My thoughts after several listens both through speakers (twice) and earphones;
One minute you’re here - liked this from the first listen, to me a simple but beautifully constructed song
Letter to you - formulaic E St, but I like the e st sound😀
Burnin train - a good mid tempo rocker
Janey - fantastic, no 2 out of the 3 oldies for me
Last man standing - growing on me
Power of prayer - musically just don’t like
House of 1000 guitars - first few listens really didn’t like but starting to grow on me
Rainmaker - initially through speakers this feels like a mass of sound and a bit too much, however, through earphones thou it’s so much more, really growing on me
If I was the priest, my fave of the album, first line has the hairs stand on the back of my neck. No 1 out of 3 oldies for me
Ghosts - love this track, nothing new but makes you feel alive
Song for orphans - like this, very dylanesque
I’ll see you in my dreams - like one minute, simple but beautifully constructed song
8/10 album if a couple of songs shorter would have been a 10/10..
btw - i know some people’s view is that Bruce’s vocal’s seem a little forced at times, for me not, I think vocally he sounds great for young man of 71...
stay hard, stay hungry...stay alive
