4.0 out of 5 stars Rockin' And Rolling!, December 1, 2008

A nice, smooth rocker from the Boss. The song feels like an old friend, familiar, yet also different. It reminded me a lot of Bobby Jean and No Surrender from Born In The USA. These are the types of songs that seem almost effortless from Springsteen. I think this bodes well for the new album coming in January! If you liked Born In The USA or some of the songs off of disc 3 & 4 of Tracks then you will like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great to have the band back together, December 1, 2008

There's no denying that this is an infectious track, although my initial thought is that the whole enterprise seems to have sort of a "tastes great, less filling" vibe -- I can't wait to blast it from my open car window, but lyrically there's not much THERE there.

Still, the band sounds great and I love those Steve Van Zandt harmonies. It warrants four stars simply for its energy level, which is a welcome byproduct of the E Street Band actually recording together in the studio. (For "Magic" they flew in separately to record their parts, which were assembled later.) Based on this song and the title track, I predict this album may not have the gravitas of some past Springsteen efforts, but it will probably be a heck of a lot of fun to listen to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muscular, efferverscent pop from Springsteen, December 3, 2008

This is a fantastic track. Don't let the other reviwers fool you -- Bruce has a long history of rich, guitar-driven pop songs, from "Two Hearts" to "Rendezvous" and "Girls in Their Summer Clothes." This song, with it's jacknife lead guitar line and frenzied, breathless rhythm, is a joyful explosion of a song, running over with energy and enthusiasm.

There's a great build here -- we start with just drums, bass, piano, and acoustuc and electric guitar. As verses progress, we get two more electric guitars, a fun backing vocal from Steve, a organ line, and a peppy sax solo from Clarence.

The biggest star of the tune is unsung bassist Garry Tallent, whose fluid, rippling baseline is a real highlight of the song -- check this song out with headphones on, and you'll be surprised.

While it may not blow you away with it's deep menaing, "My Lucky Day" is a real winner of Springsteen single - upbeat and fun.
