The song itself has a glorious Americana instrumental, all guitars, violins, horns, playing backed by a beat perfectly replicating the clickety-clack of the wheels on rails of an old time &#8211; presumably bound for Tucson &#8211; train.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s been five years since we&#8217;ve had an album from The Boss; 2014&#8217;s &#8216;High Hopes&#8217; did exactly that, and crashed through the top of the charts in 10 regions, the best he&#8217;s done since 2009&#8217;s &#8216;Working The Dream&#8217;. On the strength of the first three songs from &#8216;Western Stars&#8217;, it feels as though Bruce is onto something great, it&#8217;s got a cross-genre vibe that is bound to appeal to the diehard and casual fan alike, and pick up a lot of new listeners along the way. Chart success by this stage is something that is neither here nor there for Springsteen, but it feels as though a few number one rankings would be well deserved. The Boss is back &#8211; but did he ever actually go away?<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_69384\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bsH4URIWNRE?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Bruce Springsteen - Tucson Train (Official Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bsH4URIWNRE\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Western Stars&#8217; is out June 14 through Columbia, and is available to pre-order <a href=\"https:\/\/brucespringsteen.lnk.to\/westernstars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">now<\/a>.
