Springsteen] By Clinton

This book
provides intimate look at
one of rock's brightest
stars and his legendary
backing band by the UK's
premier rock journalist.
Before he was the
swaggering,
stadium-packing megastar,
Bruce Springsteen was a
brooding introvert,
desperate to strike a
balance between his
nuanced songwriting and
the heft of his backing
band. Clinton Heylin's
revelatory biography, E
Street Shuffle,
chronicles the evolution
and influence of
Springsteen's E Street
Band as they rose from
blue-collar New Jersey to
the heights of rock
stardom. The band's
players---most notably
saxophonist Clarence Big
Man Clemons, guitarist
Little Stevie Van Zandt,
and drummer Max
Weinberg---became
Springsteen's comrades in
concert, helping him find
the elusive sound and
sonic punch that
highlighted The Boss's
most creative period,
including Darkness on the
Edge of Town, Born to
Run, and Born in the USA.
Fans will also learn
another side of
Springsteen, one
punctuated with his
clashes with studio
executives seeking a
commercially viable,
radio-friendly album, and
his temporary disbanding
of the E Street Band to
pursue projects like the
eerie acoustic of
Nebraska. Coinciding with
the 40th anniversary of
Springsteen's debut
album, Greetings from
Asbury Park, drawing on
interviews and access to
new recordings and shows,
Heylin paints a bold
picture of The Boss.
