Wrecking Ball by Bruce Springsteen
Wrecking Ball is an album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 2012. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “We Take Care Of Our Own”, on 3 lists with a best position of #15.
Wrecking Ball, Bruce Springsteen's seventeenth studio album, landed on Columbia on March 6, 2012, with the Boss producing alongside Ron Aniello. It sits in his late run between Working on a Dream and High Hopes, and it came out swinging: lead single "We Take Care of Our Own" opened the campaign with a big, fist-in-the-air roll.
The title track, "Jack of All Trades" and "Rocky Ground" fill out a record that mixes arena-size rock with rootsier, country-tinged textures. One major rock magazine named it the best album of 2012, and between the album and "We Take Care of Our Own" it drew three Grammy nominations.
