ANOTHER THIN LINE is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and Joe Grushecky and released on Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers' 2009 album East Carson Street. Bruce Springsteen participated in the recording of three of the album's tracks; he plays guitar on EAST CARSON STREET, sings duet vocals and plays lead guitar on ANOTHER THIN LINE, and plays lead guitar on BROKEN WHEEL. The above lyrics are for Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers' album version of ANOTHER THIN LINE as released in 2009.
ANOTHER THIN LINE was co-written by Bruce Springsteen and Joe Grushecky sometime between late 1997 and early 2000. In a Spring 2007 interview for Backstreets magazine, Grushecky explained that Springsteen asked him if he had any stuff he thought he could use for rock songs for the E Street Band. This lead to some writing sessions and ANOTHER THIN LINE was something that Grushecky had written and sent to Springsteen long-distance by fax.
Springsteen would later use the lyrics "Gray morning sky / Splits through the shade" in SHACKLED AND DRAWN.
ANOTHER THIN LINE was performed 3 times during what is known as The Reunion Tour (132 dates, April 1999 to July 2000). All of these three outings were during the ten-night stand at Madison Square Garden that concluded the tour. The song was the opener of those three shows.
ANOTHER THIN LINE was performed twice during The Rising Tour (120 dates, August 2002 to October 2003), on the very last two dates.
ANOTHER THIN LINE was performed during the tenth (2010) and eleventh (2011) annual Light Of Day benefits. The song was played with Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers.
Bruce Springsteen appeared at a total of six Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers concerts at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum in Pittsburgh, PA, in 2010, 2011, and 2014. ANOTHER THIN LINE was performed on 04 Nov 2010, 05 Nov 2010, 03 Nov 2011, and 04 Nov 2011.
