''Wrecking Ball'' is the seventeenth studio album by American recording artist Bruce Springsteen, released March 5, 2012, on Columbia Records. It was named best album of 2012 by ''Rolling Stone''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=50 Best Albums of 2012: Bruce Springsteen, 'Wrecking Ball' )〕 and along with the album's first single, "We Take Care of Our Own", was nominated for three Grammy Awards. ==Background and recording== All but four songs were written in 2011. Three of the exceptions were songs previously released in live version, the other released on ''Wrecking Ball'': *"Jack of All Trades", which was written in 2009. During Bruce Springsteen's recent Wrecking Ball Tour he addresses the crowd and tells about the current state of our economy, which inspired him to write this song three years previously. *"Wrecking Ball", which was written in 2009 prior to a series of E Street Band shows at Giants Stadium as a tribute to the venue, which was set to close and be demolished. Springsteen later dedicated a live version with revised lyrics to the closing of the Spectrum in Philadelphia. The song made other appearances throughout the final two months of the Working on a Dream Tour; *"American Land", which was written during the 2006 Seeger Sessions with a studio version being recorded though never released. The song was played throughout that tour and heavily on the subsequent two E Street Band tours; and *"Land of Hope and Dreams", which was written by Springsteen sometime in 1998 or early 1999 and first performed on the 1999 Reunion Tour with the E Street Band. A studio version was originally recorded in 2002 during the sessions for ''The Rising'' album although it was never released. The album includes tracks that feature Clarence Clemons, who died in June 2011. Clemons performs the saxophone solos on "Land of Hope and Dreams", and backing saxophone rhythms on the title track. While the tour in support of the album featured the full current E Street Band lineup, the only E Street Band members to appear on the album are Clemons, Steven Van Zandt, Max Weinberg, and Patti Scialfa; adjunct members Charlie Giordano and Soozie Tyrell are also heavily featured. The album features members of the Sessions Band, including the horn section, and special guest appearances by Tom Morello and Matt Chamberlain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wrecking Ball (Bruce Springsteen album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
