Born In The U.S.A.

CD Details

Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. is a rock album that balances sweeping anthems with more introspective material. The title track, often misunderstood as patriotic, is actually a stark portrait of a Vietnam veteran abandoned by his country. Alongside this centerpiece sit infectious pop-rock songs like “No Surrender,” “Dancing in the Dark,” “Bobby Jean,” and “Glory Days” that showcase Springsteen’s gift for crafting radio-friendly populist rock. Quieter moments such as “My Hometown” and “I’m On Fire” add depth to an album that proved the predictions about Springsteen’s importance to rock music’s future were entirely justified.

This CD features Springsteen on vocals, guitar, and harmonica, backed by the E Street Band including Steve Van Zandt on guitar and mandolin, Clarence Clemons on saxophone, and other key players, with production by Springsteen, Jon Landau, Chuck Plotkin, and Van Zandt. The album was recorded at The Power Station and The Hit Factory in New York. Grab this used copy and own a landmark rock record at a fraction of retail.
