Bruce Springsteen on the soulful voice behind "Nebraska"

  • In-between his chart-topping album "The River" and his classic "Born in the U.S.A.," Bruce Springsteen recorded a collection of songs on a 4-track cassette recorder in a bedroom at his rented farmhouse - dark, mournful, and rough-hewn songs that reflected the upheaval in his life at a time of rising success. The resulting album, 1982's "Nebraska," would be one of his most personal, and helped solidify his status as one of music's most soulful voices. Springsteen talks with correspondent Jim Axelrod about how "Nebraska" spoke to his evolution as a songwriter. Axelrod also talks with Warren Zanes, author of the new book, "Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's 'Nebraska'." (This story was originally broadcast on April 30, 2023.)

    Nebraska really cut deep into the myth that Springsteen was only a stadium rocker at heart. It was mainly simple chords, stark images, and by far my favorite album of his. Not even Dylan in his whole body of work created any kind of thematic group of songs that cut this deep. Bruce did something that the culture at the time, with all its synths and big drum production, would never consider doing- putting out the demos. This is why the album has aged so well- it was not made with anything but expression of feeling as the goal- with nothing but the songs to do the talking. Bruce comes off as an everyman but few could tell stories as well as he did. Haunting is the best word for this album.

    I’ve been a Springsteen fan since 1979. My favorite is (and IMO his darkest) Darkness on the Edge of Town. Some will say Born to Run… but this is his take and I bow to the Master’s Voice.

    "Atlantic City" is such a magical recording/ song. It jerks my tears. One of the first recordings I got as a kid in the 80's was the cassette of Born In The U.S.A (purchased in N.J) I've gone through the songwriting creative process myself with notebooks, mobile device recordings etc etc. This was/is a neat consumption.

I brought her a bag of every card we received at my baby shower, when she was on the way and she cried like a baby. Shes doing great now. I forgot about me.

    Born to run, literally was one of my favorite albums of all time! I could no longer listen to it because musicians should stay out of politics. And before you say, I’m a Republican I can tell you that I’m not. Although I don’t know my party anymore I hang in there for some reason. Springsteen, Bon Jovi, De Niro, and many others need to remember their craft and stay out of politics. I miss hearing born to run, but I refuse to listen to it. Our country is right now and it breaks my heart because the country divided will fall.

      I hear you but all politics is personal and our creators are not aliens. They live in our world and are affected by what happens in it. If you don’t want to listen to an album you once loved, that’s your call. But enough with the whole thing about creators should not deal in politics. Freedom of expression is an American tenet. Remember that.
