Western Stars

描述

LP includes two 150-gram vinyl"&"nbsp;This collection of songs takes his music to a new place, drawing inspiration in part from the Southern California pop records of the late "&"lsquo;60s and early "&"lsquo;70s. The album was recorded primarily at Springsteen"&"rsquo;s home studio in New Jersey, with additional recording in California and New York."&"ldquo;This record is a return to my solo recordings featuring character driven songs and sweeping, cinematic orchestral arrangements," says Springsteen. "It's a jewel box of a record." The 13 tracks on Western Stars encompass a sweeping range of American themes, of highways and desert spaces, of isolation and community and the permanence of home and hope.Ron Aniello produced the album with Springsteen and plays bass, keyboard, and other instruments. Patti Scialfa provides vocals and contributes vocal arrangements on four tracks. The musical arrangements include strings, horns, pedal steel and contributions from more than 20 other players including Jon Brion (who plays celeste, Moog, and farfisa), as well as guest appearances by David Sancious, Charlie Giordano, and Soozie Tyrell."&"nbsp;Bruce Springsteen"&"rsquo;s recording career spans over 40 years, beginning with 1973's "&"lsquo;Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ."&"rsquo; He has garnered 20 Grammys, won an Oscar and a Tony, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a Kennedy Center Honor, and was MusiCares"&"rsquo; 2013 Person of the Year.
