Bruce Springsteen Album-By-Album
A listener's guide by Rob Sheffield and the Rolling Stone staff
The Rising (2002)





Listen
Springsteen wades into the wreckage and pain of 9/11 and emerges bearing fifteen songs that genuflect with enormous grace before the sorrows that drift in its wake.
HIGH POINT: "My City of Ruins." A mournful ode originally written for his adopted hometown of Asbury Park seamlessly transformed into a prayer for New York in the wake of September 11th.
