Atteso in modo quasi spasmodico, sia dai fans che dai media, il nuovo lavoro del rocker del New Jersey è sicuramente destinato a fare discutere. Ha un suono intenso e rarefatto che, sin dalla copertina, ci fa percepire che non siamo di fronte ad un disco di rock classico, bensì ad un album di ballate sfiorate dal suono della canzone d'autore. Infatti Western Stars è un lavoro sofisticato, anche orchestrato, arrangiato da Ron Aniello, produttore, e dai musicisti che aiutano Springsteen in questa nuova avventura ( David Sancious, Patti Scialfa, Jon Brion, Charlie Giordano, Soozie Tyrell ). Western Stars, che ha dei testi introspettivi e curati, è comunque un disco che si stacca da quanto Springsteen ha fatto in passato, ma ha una sua logica e si fa ascoltare. Indubbiamente, più lo si ascolta e più si capisce che Springsteen ha voluto fare una cosa diversa ed il giudizio finale può diventare sicuramente positivo. Siamo comunque lontani dallo Springsteen più classico. Edizione Usa.
