Is My Hometown Springsteen’s starkest blend of fantastic lyrics and kinda meh music? He’s got some of the opposite (Queen of the Supermarket, I’m looking at you).

I'm not a fan of Stolen Car or The Promise, but neither of them has any music to speak of. Meeting Across the River is also pretty minimalist.

I find Meeting Across the River to be beautiful to be honest. The full band version of the Promise I enjoy — possibly helped by being there the only night they did it live; the solo piano version much less so. Stolen Car is a good call. That’s one that should’ve been left off.

Wild Billy is underwhelming, but that’s both music and lyrics.

Agreed. There's a number of slow ballad live versions I can't stand. For You is one of them.

Love that song, but the slow version is just deadly.

I am chagrined that at the end of the last Tour when he was playing all of the first two albums live he didn’t do the full band For You. It’s such a great song. I don’t get the people who love the slow solo ballad versions of a lot of this stuff to be honest.

There are almost no mid/uptempo songs by anybody that sound better as stripped down slow ballads. Some are OK as a change of pace (think Clapton doing Layla unplugged, or the acoustic but not slow version of Born in the USA) but not better.
