About The Record:

Springsteen was working on Human Touch, which he intended to release sometime in 1990, but the project took him longer than he thought. He shelved the project in early 1991 and came back to it in September of the same year. Intending to record one more song for the album, he ended up with ten new songs, which became Lucky Town. He decided to release both albums at the same time. Lucky Town has a more stripped down, folksy sound and is more personal in terms of its song lyrics. Human Touch consisted of mostly generic love songs, while Lucky Town focuses on more specific events in Springsteen's life. The opening track Better Days expresses his desire to start over after some rough patches in his life. Living Proof is about the birth of his first son and Local Hero is about a time that he saw a picture of himself in a store window. When he went to buy it, the clerk told him it was a picture of a "local hero." The album peaked at #3 on Billboard's Albums chart. Better Days peaked at #16 on the Hot 100 and #2 on Billboard's Rock charts.
