Bruce Springsteen's album Wrecking Ball comes out March 6. And while last week's press announcement didn't tell us much more than that, it did supply a track list for eleven new tunes. These song titles have the honest, hardscrabble phrasing we expect from the Boss, which got us thinking: could a superfan tell the difference between actual Springsteen song titles and a list of other rough-and-tumble-sounding ones?
So we found some ringers in the backlist of Hardscrabble Books (yes, it's actually called that), a publishing imprint out of the University Press of New England.
Mixed up below are ten fiction and non-fiction titles from Hardscrabble Books and ten Springsteen titles from Wrecking Ball. (We removed the record's title track from the list, because we're hardscrabble like that). Can you pick the ten that Bruce wrote?
We've got the answers here.
