Bruce Springsteen

The River

Record Store Day 2015 Release Newly remastered from original analogue masters Despite the acclaim accorded 'Born to Run' and 'Darkness on the Edge of Town' this is the album that broke Springsteen into the big leagues thanks to 'Hungry Heart' then his most pointedly commercial song it had new fans swooning but some old ones grumbling for the poetic Springsteen of days gone by Not to worry though more economical lyrically 'The River' had something to offer nearly everyone There's oldtime frat rock 'Sherry Darling' empathetic character studies 'The River' 'Stolen Car' and 'Independence Day' passionate rockers 'Out in the Street' dramatic ballads 'Point Blank' and even a couple of goodnatured goofs 'Cadillac Ranch' 'Crush on You' and 'Ramrod' A sprawling doubledisc set 'The River' offers proof that Springsteen could do it all and could do it better than virtually anyone else
