Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Wrecking Ball Tour 2012.

Tampa Times Forum. Shot from the pit:

I'd like to introduce you to right now a young man.

He was Born in the U.S.A....

He drove here tonight in his Pink Cadillac...

He brought you such great hits as Born To Run,

Dancing In the Dark, Glory Days...

Mr. Badlands. The Jersey Devil himself.

He had the number one record in America for one consecutive week.

Look out Adele...

He's sexy and he knows it.

Florida, give it up for the American Bad Ass,

Bruce Springsteen

and his legendary

E STREET BAND!

Bruce Springsteen News: Clarence Clemons overleden

- Danny Clinch

Een van mijn - letterlijk - grootste muzikale helden... Na Danny Federici verliest de E Street Band van Bruce Springsteen ook Clarence Clemons, en houdt hiermee definitief op de E Street Band te zijn. "The Big Man has left the Band... to go hiding on the backstreets forever..."

It is with overwhelming sadness that we inform our friends and fans that at 7:00 tonight, Saturday, June 18, our beloved friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons passed away. The cause was complications from his stroke of last Sunday, June 12th.
Bruce Springsteen said of Clarence: Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner, and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band.

A Splice Original Compilation: The Old Lonesome Sound

A Splice Original Compilation: The Old Lonesome Sound

In Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, Jim White's documentary on Southern folk music, storytelling, and religion, banjoist Lee Sexton describes the traditional music of his native Kentucky hills as "the old lonesome sound."
"These old hills are kind of sad looking," Sexton says. "You get to feeling down and out, looking at these old hills, sitting on your front porch, and you get to playing these old tunes and it helps you. It builds your morale up a little bit."
The old tunes that Sexton was talking about are the ones that have been with us for hundreds of years: hymns and gospels, murder ballads, protest songs, African-American spirituals, old bluegrass and country standards. Whether you hear them on albums by Dylan or Springsteen, or in films like O Brother, Where Art Thou? or Cold Mountain, they are songs that get reworked again and again, that cut to the heart and soul of the American story.
In his memoirs, Alan Lomax recalls the days on the Lower East Side of New York when Lead Belly and a young Woody Guthrie would stay up all night trading off on such songs, coming home after a show and playing for hours: "They had their whole, fresh, powerful, pure folk repertory intact: living, vibrant, and with the impact of a country mule ready to kick a hole into the future."
In keeping with this tradition, we at Splice Today present to you our first annual mix of original recordings of traditional folk music.
Many thanks to all the bands involved, as well as to Nick Sjostrom at Clean Cuts Music & Audio for his production assistance and Samantha Strand for her beautiful cover art.
