Guess I must play it again.<br /><br />Just listened to "The Calling" and "Age Of Miracles" again and getting into them a lot.<br /><br />Springsteen - 16 times for me, dating back from 1981 in places as diverse as Paris, Detroit and Rotterdam. Going to Hyde Park in July. Now, I can't get into "Wrecking Ball" much at all. Like "Jack Of All Trades" and "Rocky Ground". Same for "Working On A Dream". A lot of the problem is the contemporary production which compresses the life out of the E St Band. "Darkness" is my all time favourite, followed by "The Wild, The Innocent.." and of course "Born To Run". Also, there's some great stuff on the "Tracks" box set that he inexplicably never released.<br /><br />You are the first Mary Chapin fan I've ever come across! Her songs have been part of my wife and I's life for 20 years. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to tour much abroad apart from the occasional trip to Italy or France which I am sure she loves as a Europhile. I missed the tour that you reviewed. Found out about it after it was over.<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632929314036232391.post-28461494411313989012012-05-18T09:45:55.159+01:002012-05-18T09:45:55.159+01:00Paul - Stones In The Road and Time, Sex, Love are ...Paul - Stones In The Road and Time, Sex, Love are probably my favourites, but I like The Age Of Miracles for its laid-back feel. Looking forward to the new album and hopefully another UK tour........<br /><br />As for Springsteen, I have seen him 5 times (twice in 1981, twice in 1985 and once in 1989). I was hoping to get to see him in Montpellier next month, but that may not now be possible, which is a shame, because I think that he is back on form, having produced his best album in nearly 30 years.Leon Stolarskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277390017788435310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632929314036232391.post-34610805498867724142012-05-18T08:18:17.727+01:002012-05-18T08:18:17.727+01:00No problem.

However I do like "Between Here and Gone". The two most recent are ok but the songs haven't stuck in my head like the early ones. Favourite songs are "Family Hands"; "Middle Ground"; "He Thinks He'll Keep Her"; "Come On Come On"; "The Moon and St Christopher"; "Hometown Girl"; "John Doe number 24"; "Grand Central Station".<br /><br />Saw her live once back in 1993 at Hammersmith Odeon.<br /><br />Yes, her band are pretty tight but I don't think they match the E St Band at their best!<br /><br />Cheers anyway, PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632929314036232391.post-65514724032035615552012-05-17T15:01:45.422+01:002012-05-17T15:01:45.422+01:00Thanks for dropping by, Anon.
