FFWD music BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN THE RISING 15 new songs of love, courage, hope and faith. The first rock album from Bruce Springsteen with the E-Street Band since their 1984 landmark recording Born in the USA. INCLUDING THE FIRST SINGLE brucespringsteen.net sonymusic.ca CONI MBIA THE RISING ELIZABETH COOK Hey Y'All Here's a concept: a Nashville country artist who sings real songs with real emotion. Although she's from Wildwood, Florida, Elizabeth Cook has been embraced by Music City, becoming a regular on the Grand Ole Opry and landing a big-time record deal. This is progress.

Cook can belt out sexually charged honky tonkers like "Demon" or croon classic weepers like "Don't Bother Me." And her only cover is a dramatic, Roy Orbison-style arrangement of Jessi Colter's "I'm Not Lisa." The real McCoy. (Sept. 17).
