CD: Bruce Springsteen,Darkness On The Edge Of Town

AMAZON
The Roy Orbison drama, the Wall of Sound and the soul energy of Born to Run are still present here but there's a darkness now, too, and it's more than around the edges. The stories have more at risk, for one thing, a definite sense of the pain that can accompany the hardest choices. These real-world consequences are felt most strikingly in Bruce Springsteen's newly prominent guitar--his solos are ugly and twisted but he sounds all the stronger for it. Recorded for everyone who has "a notion . it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive", Darkness on the Edge of Town might just be Springsteen's greatest achievement. --David Cantwell
