The magic is there. Welcome to Bruce’s barn where all the Western Stars tracks are performed live. The emotion of the boss live is still there, at 70, with a tough unchanged voice, which is a miracle that remains untouched. Bruce created a fictional counterpart of his in the Western loser who unveils his tale in the lyrics, sad, lonely, proud, caught between his loves and affections and the all-American desire to run away, to go West, his main theme throughout his musical career. Enchanting images and existentialist voice-over in between the songs gives the spectator a fictional Bruce, we know it is made-up but we like to believe his words. Great filming and great sound convey the feeling of this apparently different new album which in fact is quintessential Bruce. Keep rocking, young old man!
