Bruce Springsteen "Human Touch" (Video)

Posted by Chris Campbell at Monday, May 04, 2009

Until 2007, Human Touch was unquestionably Springsteen's worst record. Released in 1992 alongside the stellar Lucky Town, HT includes such dreadful tunes as "Real Man," "57 Channels (And Nothin' On)," and "All or Nothing at All." I'm talkin' songs that really suck. But among the garbage are a few gems, most notably the title track, which much to my surprise, still holds up 17 years later.

After 15 years in the Springsteen cellar, with the release of Magic and this year's crappy Working on a Dream, could this early 90s clunker rise from the basement? Perhaps Springsteen thinks so, as he and the band performed the title track in Greensboro two nights ago.
