High Hopes

The release of a new Bruce Springsteen album is always cause for good cheer, and doubly so when he's accompanied by Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello. High Hopes is an interesting mishmash of songs that have been live staples for many years but had never found their way onto studio albums until now, along with a few newbies and a re-interpretation of Springsteen's old classic The Ghost Of Tom Joad. Great for bringing a bit of energy to dark and sluggish days.
