On this day in music history: March 31, 1992 - Lucky Town, the tenth album by Bruce Springsteen is released. Produced by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, and Chuck Plotkin, it is recorded at Thrill Hill Recording in Rumson, NJ, and A&M Studios in Hollywood, CA from September 1991 - January 1992. The second of two albums simultaneously released by the prolific songwriter and musician, it will be the result of Springsteen coming up with additional material written during a break in the recording of Human Touch, with the recording completed in a relatively brief four months. It will feature Springsteen playing most of the instruments with additional musical support from Steve Miller Band drummer Gary Mallaber, and bassist Randy Jackson (American Idol). While it receives a slightly better reception from critics and fans, most will feel that releasing two separate albums at the same time is excessive and would have been better if Springsteen had taken the best songs from both and made them a single album. Lucky Town will debut at its chart peak position of number three on the Billboard Top 200 behind its companion release, and is certified Platinum in the US by the RIAA.
