Human Touch by Bruce Springsteen

Human Touch, Bruce Springsteen's ninth studio album, arrived in 1992 on the same day as its sister record Lucky Town, and of the two it was the one people bought. With the E Street Band set aside and session players on board, Springsteen went for a polished, big-studio sound, with Roy Bittan producing.

The title track is the heart of it, riding a slow-building rock groove, and it went out as a double A-side with Lucky Town's "Better Days", topping the Mainstream Rock chart and reaching number 16 on the Hot 100. The album climbed to number two on the Billboard 200, went platinum and picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance.
