Bruce Springsteen: Only The Strong Survive (2-LP, colored Vinyl, Ltd. )
It was a surprise when Bruce Springsteen announced a new album with the E Street Band in September 2020 for October of that year. And so it is now that the 73-year-old has a new collection of soul classics on the horizon.
Only once in his long career has the Boss tackled outside compositions at album length. On "We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions," Springsteen paid tribute to Pete Seeger and original American folk music with a big band almost 20 years ago. So it makes sense that the man from New Jersey dedicates himself for his second project with cover versions to a musical area that is at least as important and influential: the soul music of the 60s and 70s. The unofficial soundtrack to the black civil rights movement in the USA.
Back in 2012, Bruce Springsteen explained what the soul music of that time meant to him: "It was a music of gritty determination. A music of the blues, the church, the soil and the sex-soaked sky. It was a sweaty music that demanded pleasure and respect. It was an adult music made wholesome by soul men and women - not teen idols.
It is to these soul men and women that Bruce Springsteen now pays his respects with "Only The Strong Survive." Stax and Motown classics by Jerry Butler, the Four Tops, Diana Ross & The Supremes and many others. Springsteen celebrates these hits with his longtime producer Ron Aniello, who was also responsible for most of the instrumentation this time around. Also featured are guest vocalist Sam Moore and the horns of the E Street Horns, as well as string arrangements by Rob Mathes and background vocals by Soozie Tyrell, Lisa Lowell, Michelle Moore, Curtis King Jr, Fonzi Thornton and Dennis Collins.
"Only The Strong Survive" will be released on CD, as a double LP on black vinyl and as a color double LP on Translucent Orbit Orange, exclusively for jpc worldwide (while supplies last). Both LP versions come in a gatefold cover with printed inner sleeves, a 12″ × 24″ poster and an etching on the D-side.

Bruce Springsteen
For most music fans Bruce Springsteen, born in Freehold, New Jersey on September 23, 1949 needs no introduction. His fan base began building in 1973 when his first album, 'Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.' was released. A year later, music critic Jon Landau wrote, "I saw rock and roll's future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen." With 1975's 'Born To Run' album Springsteen achieved commercial as well as critical success. The LP would spend two years among the Top 200, rise to #3 and sell more than three million copies. To cap off '75, Springsteen appeared on the covers of both 'Time' and 'Newsweek' the week of October 27.
From his early albums on, Springsteen has focused his themes on working-class people and issues. Thus Vietnam, its soldiers and its veterans, have shown up in a number of his songs. Examples include not only the single Born In The U.S.A. (mistakenly embraced by President Ronald Reagan as a patriotic anthem) but also lesser-known album tracks such as Lost In The Flood, Youngstown, Brothers Under The Bridge and Shut Out The Light.
Galveston Bay from 'The Ghost Of Tom Joad' is another album track that received limited airplay. It is the story of a Vietnamese soldier "who fought side by side with the Americans," flees the country when Saigon fell and eventually brings his family to Texas. There he buys a shrimp boat and begins a new life on the bay. The song's lyrics address tensions between Vietnamese refugees and local fishermen in the larger context of anti-immigrant sentiment: "America for Americans." In the conflict that follows people die. Ultimately, however, there is reconciliation with the present in Galveston and perhaps with the past, the Vietnam War itself.
