It seems that everything The Boss touches turns to gold and this latest nugget is nothing less than pure 24-karat. What makes Working On A Dream even more of an achievement is that the majority of it was recorded on the road and in just one or two takes. This is not run-of-the-mill formulaic stuff either - rather it is an exploration of moods, emotions and styles that rewards repeated listening. Take opener Outlaw Pete for example. A western fable weighing in at a full eight minutes that' s not afraid to risk sounding silly or contrived. This is a life-affirming album from a man who has lived and loved and lost and survived to tell the tale - and it is simply magnificent.Rating: Essential
