For over fifty years, Bruce Springsteen has been on top of the Rock
'n' Roll stage with 20 studio albums - from his debut Greetings from
Asbury Park, N.J. to 2020's Letter to You - his a life dedicated to
music-making and committed social commentary song-writing.
This book examines every part of his musical career, discussing his
influences and how his background shaped his songwriting. His albums
have reflected deeply-felt passions and concerns, from the position of
the American working man in The River and Nebraska, to deep personal
relationships in Tunnel of Love; from the bleak vistas in Darkness on
the Edge of Town to the anger of Born in the U.S.A.
The book features rare memorabilia and images from Springsteen's career
and includes features on the E Street Band who have been with him for
the bulk of his recording and performing career. Guitarists Steven Van
Zandt, Nils Lofgren, and Patti Scialfa, keyboardists Danny Federici and
Roy Bittan, bassist Garry Tallent, drummer Max Weinberg, and saxophonist
Clarence Clemons.
