There is a lot to smile about here. “Leap Of Faith” is almost a spiritual love song. “Living Proof” is slow building with some nice guitar licks. He is now a family man and seems to finally have found some of the missing elements in his life. “If I Should Fall Behind” re-enforces this sense of a contented home life.
My favorite track is the album closer, “My Beautiful Reward.” Life is good but the search still goes on.
It was nice to hear this album again as it is one that I all too often ignore. Bruce Springsteen’s releases tend to be slices of his life, which serve as chapters in his continuing autobiography. Lucky Town finds him happy and content and as such is a nice stop on his journey and mine.

maybe 1 album was better with good outtakes;like:better days/souls of departed/viva las vegas/troule river/7 angels/ leavin'train/human touch/gloria's eyes/ roll of the dice/ the long goodbye.
This could be a very great album.
