  <about><![CDATA[Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an American songwriter, singer and guitarist. He has frequently recorded and toured with the E Street Band. Springsteen is most widely known for his brand of heartland rock infused with pop hooks, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered around his native New Jersey. His eloquence in expressing ordinary, everyday problems has earned him numerous awards, including fifteen Grammy Awards and an Academy Award, along with an international fan base. His most famous albums, Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A., epitomize his penchant for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily life. He has sold over 60 million albums in the U.S. alone.]]></about>

    <![CDATA[<em>Songs</em> is aptly titled, for while Bruce Springsteen contributes text to this 300-page book, the writing centers on his songs, tangentially sketching his life story. The lyrics to well over 100 songs are presented, dating from the first track on his 1973 debut, <em>Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.</em> (that would be &quot;Blinded by the Light&quot;) through the last selection on 1995's <em>The Ghost of Tom Joad</em> (&quot;My Best Was Never Good Enough&quot;). The lyrics are broken up by photos (a ponytailed youth practices his guitar on a bed in his parents' apartment, the Boss buys a burger, Springsteen mugs while on a desert motorcycle outing). Original lyric sheets provide some insight into the Jersey boy's creative methodology. Most interesting, however, are the chapters Springsteen penned for the book. Broken down by album, they provide abbreviated accounts of his creative development, and some of the writing is quite telling. (Of his commercial smash <em>Born in the U.S.A.</em>, he professes ambivalence: &quot;It forced me to question the way I presented my music and made me think harder about what I was doing.&quot;) Passionate fans of the man will find this heavy-duty songbook, journal, and photo album rewarding, and it certainly whets the appetite for a more thorough memoir. <em>--Steven Stolder</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;It is a magnificent album that pays off on every bet ever placed on him&#8212;and it should crack his future wide open.&quot; - <em>Rolling Stone</em>, on the 1975 release of Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s album <em>Born To Run.</em><br/>Photographer Eric Meola was hired thirty years ago to do a photo shoot which resulted in the iconic rock n&#8217; roll album <em>Born to Run</em>. This magnificent book recreates that photography session, contains all of Bruce&#8217;s lyrics, and includes an introduction by distinguished popular music writer Daniel Wolff.<br/>Bruce Springsteen is one of the most important songwriters and performers of the last three decades. <em>Born to Run</em> is the album that put Bruce Springsteen on the cover of both <em>Newsweek</em> and <em>Time</em>. It is a timeless snapshot of Americana&#8212;all sweaty, high energy, and tuned to a carnival-like level. For many critics of the day, <em>Born to Run</em> made Springsteen the most important artist of his generation. It was this album that Springsteen&#8217;s songs first portrayed a glorious yet very real side of the American Dream.<br/>In this book, Eric Meola shares the photographic alternates and outtakes, most for the very first time, in stunning black- and-white quadratones, more than thirty years after the album&#8217;s release. In addition to the many never-before &#8211;seen photographs, here for the first time and in one place are all of the lyrics from this iconic American album.]]>

    <![CDATA[Bruce's back! The <em>Lucky Town</em> album is brilliant as one man's statement of his life captured at a certain time -- deeply personal and introspective. Our album-matching guitar/tab folio contains ten titles, including: Better Days <br/>* Book of Dreams <br/>* Leap of Faith <br/>* Living Proof <br/>* Local Hero <br/>* Lucky Town.]]>
