Bruce Springsteen Discusses New Album, ‘Only The Strong Survive,’ on E Street Radio
“Only The Strong Survive” is Bruce’s 21st album and his first covers LP since “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions” (2006).
In celebration of Bruce Springsteen’s soulful new covers album, “Only The Strong Survive,” the music legend joined SiriusXM host Jim Rotolo for an exclusive conversation on E Street Radio.
“Only The Strong Survive” is Bruce’s 21st album and his first covers LP since “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions” (2006). Produced by Rob Aniello, the new album features guest vocals by Sam Moore, contributions from The E Street Horns, full string arrangements by Rob Mathes, and backing vocals by Soozie Tyrell, Lisa Lowell, Michelle Moore, Curtis King Jr., Dennis Collins, and Fonzi Thornton.
In a statement, Springsteen said, “I wanted to make an album where I just sang. And what better music to work with than the great American songbook of the Sixties and Seventies? … My goal is for the modern audience to experience its beauty and joy, just as I have since I first heard it. I hope you love listening to it as much as I loved making it.”
Additionally, you can see Springsteen on tour with the E Street Band throughout North America and Europe starting in February. Earlier this year, he said on E Street Radio that he’s “just aching to play … to travel and see our fans in all those distant cities.”
