Release Bruce Springsteen - Only The Strong Survive (Covers Vol. 1) has side A lacquer cut by Joe Nino-Hernes (JN-H in runouts) and side B and C by Chris Bellman (CB in runout). Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. The Times Of Our Lives" (Produced by "Dexter Wansel"), the 4th Ultimate Crown Jewel, is a very very nice smooth heartbreak Jam...Also, the slow pace is perfect for "Billy's" Jazzy Vocals, again, making him sound natural (nothing forced!!!!!).... I’d spent my working life with my voice at the service of my songs, confined by my arrangements, by my melodies, by compositions, and by my constructions,” Springsteen said of the epiphany that led to ‘Only The Strong Survive’. “My voice always came second, third or fourth to those elements.” If there is a criticism to be made of this big-hearted wallow, it’s not only that the mood here is galvanising, rather than anything more subtle or bruised – witness the northern soul stomper Do I Love You (Indeed I Do), originally sung in 1965 by Frank Wilson – but that Springsteen is so lovingly loyal to his string-swept, sepia-tinted sources, rather than more artistically brave. There is no attempt to update, reinterpret or own any of this material as, say, the late Johnny Cash did on his series of records celebrating American music. You don’t want to say the k-word – karaoke. It would demean the skill and ardour of this persuasive set. But there could be a wider range of moods here.

Don't Give Up On Us", is also a nice little Jam, but it feels like something is missing on this one...This release has side A and C lacquer cut by Joe Nino-Hernes (JN-H in runouts) and side B by Chris Bellman (CB in runout). Only The Strong Survive is the new album from Bruce Springsteen, and his first new album since 2020’s Letter To You. The album is a collection of soul music gems, that celebrate the legendary songbooks of Gamble and Huff, Motown, Stax and many more.

Only The Strong Survive is the new album from Bruce Springsteen, and his first new studio album since 2020’s Letter To You. The album is a collection of soul music gems, that celebrate the legendary songbooks of Gamble and Huff, Motown, Stax and many more. Only the Strong Survive, his new album of reverent soul and R&B covers, arrives in this same spirit of nostalgic recollection for the 73-year-old. The album’s first words: “I remember.” Most tunes are from the mid-to-late-Sixties, the formative few years after the 15-year-old Springsteen received his first electric guitar and started carving out his musical identity. Where I Belong" (also Produced by "Wansel"), even though is a nice album closer, just misses the Crown Jewel status by that much.... The Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate Crown Jewel, "One Man's Junk", is THE BOMB!!!!! "Gamble & Huff" (along with "Bobby Martin") must have felt terrible about the sub par material "Billy" was receiving, so they brought him this Gem!!!!! I love the part where "Billy" sings "Too Bad For Him, Goody, Goody, Goody Goody For Me".......Priceless!!!!!

A striking feature of Only the Strong Survive, therefore, is that its 15 songs are not the cuts that Springsteen has been delivering with sweat-drenched abandon since the New Jersey club circuit. (There are live albums, bootlegs and YouTube for those.) Now, the 1st Crown Jewel, "Sooner Or Later", has "Billy" sounding natural...It is a simple Groove that will make you head bob.... Release Bruce Springsteen - Only The Strong Survive (Covers Vol. 1) has the lacquer cut by Joe Nino-Hernes (JN-H in runouts) only. Throughout his long and exuberant career, Springsteen has, naturally, paid tribute to a vast quantity of other people’s songs. Twist and Shout – the Top Notes via the Beatles – has long been a feature of his live sets. A glance at his gig statistics on Setlist.fm confirms his love for Jimmy Cliff as well as Patti Smith. Folk activist Pete Seeger has already been the subject of a previous Springsteen compendium, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions (2006).
