Small plates and an intimate space in the Seaport
The backstory: Chef Charlie Foster and restaurateur Kristin Canty focus on sustainable agriculture, eschew GMOs and trans fats (no seed oils here), and embrace organic food at their Seaport restaurants and Adelita and Woods Hill Table in Concord; some of their ingredients come from the Farm at Woods Hill in New Hampshire. That approach continues to play out here, but The Block is focused more on socializing and sharing plates. Advertisement Pommes souffles are the fanciest potato chips you ever had, hollow puffs fried in tallow and topped with caviar. Ben Pennington/for The Boston Globe What to eat: Start with plates of charcuterie made with pork from the farm. There's Parisian jambon, anise-studded finocchiona, and more, served with olives and other accompaniments. Then move on to Foster's small plates, adventurous with a light touch: pig's ear tots; tuna crudo with cherries, aji amarillo aioli, and squid ink tapioca chips; lobster and 'nduja pierogies. The aging program (both meat and fish) is a centerpiece of the menu, and it's on full display: Look at that gorgeous salmon hanging in the glass case, bright orange flesh against silver scales! Foster uses the technique to play with texture and flavor in dishes such as dry-aged beef carpaccio and salmon belly crudo. Pommes souffles are the fanciest potato chips you ever had, hollow puffs fried in tallow and topped with caviar.

Ben Pennington/for The Boston Globe The takeaway: The Block at Woods Hill is a verdant jewel box of a space, from the dark green marbled bar to the striped shirts and aprons worn by the staff. It feels soothing and botanical; a floral mural decorates one wall.

Bruce Springsteen delves into Mexican Revolution on new 'Tracks II' single
Here's to the brave female 'soldaderas' of the Mexican Revolution. 'Adelita' by Bruce Springsteen tells their story, and it's the latest preview single from the upcoming 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums' box set, due Friday, June 27. The new track was released Thursday, May 29, and it's part of the 'Inyo' lost album. 'Adelita' is a stirring ballad, or more specifically a corrido, with echoes of battle, blood and honor swept up in the dusty haze of history. The Mexican Revolution took place 1910 to 1920. Listen to 'Adelita' here. 'Inyo' is a Native American word that means 'dwelling place of the great spirit,' and it's also the name of Inyo County, located in the eastern central part of California. The album was partly inspired by the 1990s motorcycle rides across the Southwest Springsteen took when he lived in Los Angeles. 'There was constant border reporting in the Los Angeles Times, so it was a big part of your life,' said Springsteen in a statement. ' 'Inyo' was a record I wrote in California during long drives along the California aqueduct, up through Inyo County on my way to Yosemite or Death Valley. I was enjoying that kind of writing so much. "(On 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' tour 1995 to 1997), I would go home to the hotel room at night and continue to write in that style because I thought I was going to follow up 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' with a similar record, but I didn't. That's where 'Inyo' came from. It's one of my favorites.' 'Inyo' is primarily a solo album, but the Boss does have some help. Mariachi musicians Luis Villalobos, Alberto Villalobos, Angel Ramos, Humberto Manuel Flores Gutierrez, David Glukh, Jorge Espinosa and Miguel Ponce are heard on 'Adelita' and several other songs. For the release, Team Springsteen shared record notes on Thursday: 'Thematically, several songs on the record examine the Mexican diaspora, how border crossing between Mexico and the U.S. has affected generations and the cultural losses endured as a result. It's a musical thread that Springsteen first began to examine by covering Ry Cooder's 'Across the Borderline' on his 1988 Tunnel of Love Express tour.' The world 'Adelita' has a strong association for Springsteen and his fans. The Boss' mom was named Adele. The song 'Adelita' is the fifth to be shared from 'Tracks II' following 'Rain in the River' from the lost album 'Perfect World'; 'Blind Spot' from 'Streets of Philadelphia Sessions'; 'Faithless' from Faithless'; and 'Repo Man' from 'Somewhere North of Nashville.' Springsteen's upcoming 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums' includes 83 songs on the seven unreleased albums recorded between 1983 and 2018.

Hear Bruce Springsteen's Lost Nineties Mariachi Song ‘Adelita'
In just four weeks, Bruce Springsteen will release Tracks II: The Lost Albums, a collection of seven LPs he recorded in full and then shelved between 1983 and 2018. In the build-up to the release, Springsteen has shared several songs from the project, including 'Blind Spot' from the drum loop LP Streets of Philadelphia Sessions,' the title track to the lost western soundtrack Faithless, 'Rain in the River' from his late Nineties song collection Perfect World, and 'Repo Man' from his country rock album Somewhere North of Nashville. The newest song drop is 'Adelita' from Inyo, an album he originally envisioned as a follow-up to 1995's The Ghost of Tom Joad. It's a tribute to female Soldadera soldiers of the Mexican Revolution that Springsteen created with a group of mariachi musicians (Luis Villalobos, Alberto Villalobos, Angel Ramos, Humberto Manuel Flores Gutierrez, David Glukh, Jorge Espinosa, Miguel Ponce) who play on several Inyo tracks.

'I was enjoying that kind of writing so much. [On 'The Ghost Of Tom Joad' tour] I would go home to the hotel room at night and continue to write in that style because I thought I was going to follow up The Ghost of Tom Joad with a similar record, but I didn't. That's where Inyo came from. It's one of my favorites.' Much like The Ghost of Tom Joad, several songs on Inyo were inspired by the impact of border crossings on families in Mexico and the United States. 'There was constant border reporting in the Los Angeles Times,' Springsteen says in a statement, 'so it was a big part of your life.' At the moment, Bruce Springsteen is in the middle of a European tour with the E Street Band. It's a politically-charged show where Springsteen speaks candidly about the political situation back home in the States. 'In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration,' Springsteen told the crowd on opening night. 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.' Predictably, this sparked a series of angry Truth Social posts by President Trump. 'Springsteen is 'dumb as a rock,'' Trump wrote, 'and couldn't see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)? This dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that's just 'standard fare.' Then we'll all see how it goes for him!' Springsteen responded to the veiled threat by releasing his speech in full on the six-track digital EP Land of Hope and Dreams.

Rob Reiner: ‘Bruce Springsteen Is 100 Percent Right' About Trump
For legendary director and outspoken Democratic donor Rob Reiner, choosing sides between Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump in their current war of words didn't require much deliberation. 'Bruce Springsteen is a hundred percent right,' he says, in an interview for an upcoming print issue of Rolling Stone. 'I mean, you have to be a moron to not think that everything that Bruce Springsteen said is true. And there's nothing that Donald Trump can do to him unless he's able to turn this country into a full-blown autocracy, which he's trying to do. And because he's so dumb and he's such an incompetent person, he'll fail, just like he's failed with everything he's ever done in his life.' But Reiner says that Americans still need to fight against what he sees as an effort to 'take a 250-year democracy and turn it into an autocracy. We're gonna have to fight like crazy to preserve this… Millions of people died so that fascism wouldn't come to our shores, so that we'd preserve our democracy, and 80 years later, we're faced with a possible fascist takeover. We're gonna fight hard to make sure that that doesn't happen… We have to keep Trump's feet to the fire, because for the countries that have become autocracies, for the most part, it takes years to start changing the constitution, to start changing the electorate, to make the disinformation take hold.' More from Rolling Stone Hear Bruce Springsteen's Lost Nineties Mariachi Song 'Adelita' Bruce Springsteen Is Under Attack by Trump. These Are All the Artists Supporting Him Bono Backs Bruce Springsteen in Trump's Musician Battle: 'There's Only One Boss in America' Meanwhile, Reiner says he's 'really mad' at Jake Tapper for Original Sin, his new book with Alex Thompson about Joe Biden's decline. The book features a dramatic scene during a star-studded Los Angeles debate party as Biden implodes: In its telling, Reiner begins yelling 'We're fucked! We're going to lose our fucking democracy because of you,' directing the latter remark at another VIP guest: Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris' husband, who is said to be taken aback. Reiner says it's absolutely true that he was yelling 'we're fucked' — 'I did say that. There's no question about it.' But he says he was 'yelling at the wind,' not at Emhoff, and didn't say 'because of you.' A spokesperson for the book responds: 'Jake and Alex stand by the reporting that has been confirmed by numerous sources in the room.' Representatives for the book also shared a screenshot from what they said was one of the sources, who wrote, 'from what I remember, he did say, 'because of you.'' 'I wasn't yelling at Doug Emhoff,' Reiner insists. 'What am I gonna do? I'm gonna yell at Doug Emhoff and say 'it's all your fault?' What does that mean, even? It makes me look like an idiot. Yes, I was so frustrated. That part is true. I was frustrated and I did yell, and I was talking to J.B. Pritzker afterwards [too], and I said, 'we're really fucked.' There's a lot of blame to go around, but I certainly would not blame Doug Emhoff for the fact that Joe Biden had a crappy debate.'Reiner recently finished a sequel to 1984's classic Spinal Tap, reuniting the original cast — it's due in theaters Sept. 12. A 4k restoration of the original film is also set for a limited run in theaters this summer, from July 5 to 7.
