Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska Album

The stark, demo-quality Nebraska album contains some of the finest work of Springsteen’s career. Backed only by his acoustic guitar and a howling harmonica, the Boss tells the stories of ordinary people on both sides of the law. The effect is like black and white photos that ignite the imagination more than color shots. The highlights here include the title track and “Atlantic City,” a tale about a man who must compromise his ethics in order to get him and his wife out of a dying town. But all of the tunes on this disc address moral decay in a way that will be just as poignant one hundred years from now as they were the day it was released.
