I have spent a good portion of this week listening to the new collection of songs from Bruce Springsteen. These songs are among those that were recorded in that period of time between the release of Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town. This along with The River, to me make up the triple play of Springsteen's best work. For the record Nebraska might be his best stand alone album.
Being that this was an incredibly fruitful period of time for him it should be no surprise that there is ample music that can be released from that period of time and make one wonder why it was not released then.
This album includes Breakaway, One Way Street, Spanish Eyes and City of Night but they all are Springsteen songs and Bruce rarely has a clunker.
Most Springsteen fans have The Promise from one bootleg or another but here is an an authorized release of the single as well as Springsteen studio versions of Fire and Because the Night ( songs Springsteen gave to others) which only appeared previously on live collections.
A great set, a very good album
