soulsofthedeparted Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 For me . After a fair listen to each album . And time passed since release. For me its still "western stars". And by a fair way . I wanted to like "Letter to you " more then western stars but cant . Would love to know what Bruce thought . We will never know lol 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder Roadie Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I was just thinking about this yesterday. I have not picked up letter to you for two months now and not felt the need to. It’s not that I didn’t like the album it’s a good album but western stars resonated with me for a good year/ 18 months after its release I kept re-visiting it .I don’t feel the same need to revisit letter to you. Western Stars was and is a key moment in Bruce’s career. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daisey Jeep Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Slightly embarrassing because its not like i havn't been listening to it but finally got around to buying WS live from the barn My wonderful freind Gus kindly gifted me the lovelly dvd which i have really enjoyed watching I love how it ends with Rhinestone cowboy First thing ive bought off anazon since the NZ Amazon tax was introduced. The price was still kinda awsome up until the exchange rate With a huge decreases of planes flying into NZ it will be intetesting to see how long it takes to be delivered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
65pacecar Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Western Stars, not a big fan of LTY so far. Really the first Bruce album I haven’t worn out, I do like Last Man Standing though. If I was the Priest is one of my favorites from his old catalog, not crazy about the remake on it or the other two. I’ll give it another listen sometime to give it a chance. I’ve always respected Bruce for not completely recycling a song, but he did with LTY vs LOHAD, I found that disappointing. Western Stars is in the constant rotation.

mariasbed Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Whilst LTY is a solid album, for me, it doesn't really have any songs that I would rank alongside Bruce's very best. I Would, however, put several songs off WS in that category. The likes of Moonlight Motel, Stones and especially Western Stars are right up there. In fact, I would put the title track in my top 5 Bruce songs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rizla Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Western Stars, no contest. I am probably the only person here who hasn't bought Letter To You. I do like some of the songs on it and I will eventually buy it when the price comes down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
