Badlands, You Got to Live it Everyday...




















Continuing what is becoming a Springsteen outtake series, is American Madness: The Remastered Darkness on the Edge of Town Outtakes. I don't know why, but I probably listen to the original album the least from Bruce's 70s/80s classic albums. It's not that I consider it weak in any which way. I was just thinking that when I feel like hearing him it's not the one I typically grab. And then when I play it, I wonder why the fuck I don't listen to it more often. This set is fairly extensive over four discs. A lot of these songs weren't available until the Tracks box set was released a few years ago. Sound quality again is pretty great, considering the source. The only downside of listening to these songs is the intense desire to hit the road for a long, long ride.
