Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA, 1984 on Columbia

Having recently seen Deliver Me From Nowhere, which covers the period where Springsteen wrote and recorded Nebraska, it was interesting to come back to this album, which included some of the songs that came out of that era but did not fit that record.

It was so unavoidable, and so associated (so much for any irony) with a kind of patriotism, that I mostly avoided it (and Bruce!) in the early 80s – but I’ve come to appreciate all of him, even this one.

My copy—via private sale—is a 1984 Carrollton pressing cut at Masterdisk, and still has the original liner.
