Bruce Springsteen The Stories Behind the Songs by Brian Hiatt AZW3

Description: The legend of Bruce Springsteen may well outlast rock ÆnÆ roll itself. And for all the muscle and magic of his life-shaking concerts with the E Street Band, his legendary status comes down to the songs. He is an acknowledged master of music and lyrics, with decades of hits, from ôBlinded by the Lightö and ôBorn to Runö to ôHungry Heart,ö ôDancing in the Dark,ö and ôThe Rising.ö
In Bruce Springsteen: The Stories Behind the Songs, longtime Rolling Stone writer Brian Hiatt digs into the writing and recording of these songs and all the others on SpringsteenÆs studio albums, from 1973Æs Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. to 2014Æs High Hopes (plus all the released outtakes), and offers a unique look at the legendary rockerÆs methods, along with historical context, scores of colorful anecdotes, and more than 180 photographs. Hiatt has interviewed Springsteen five times in the past and has conducted numerous new interviews with his collaborators, from longtime producers to the E Street Band, to create an authoritative and lushly illustrated journey through SpringsteenÆs entire songbook and career.
