Album Notes Personnel: Bruce Springsteen (vocals, guitar); Steve Van Zandt (vocals); Suki Lahav (violin); Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone); David Sanborn (baritone saxophone); Clarence Clemons (saxophone, background vocals); Randy Brecker (trumpet, flugelhorn); Danny Federici (organ); Roy Bittan (keyboards, glockenspiel, background vocals); David Sancious (keyboards); Garry Tallent, Richard Davis (bass); Max Weinberg, Ernest "Boom" Carter (drums); Mike Appel (background vocals). Producers: Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, Mike Appel. Recorded at The Record Plant, New York, and 914 Sound Studio, Blauvelt, New York. BORN TO RUN is the album that turned Springsteen from a phenomenon into a superstar. His first couple of releases found Bruce working out his fascination with Dylan and Van Morrison on earthy, wordy, folk-rock-R&B tunes full of soul and punch. On BORN TO RUN, Springsteen became even more ambitious, synthesizing Spectorian production with Orbison-esque drama and Duane Eddy-influenced guitar work, creating something grand enough to be called rock opera but too proletarian to ever claim that title. BORN TO RUN was also the first album where the Boss began to crystallize his recurring theme of working class America's doomed-but-passionate rage against its circumstances. With the earnestness and emotion that bursts forth from Springsteen's street poems, the album is never less than exhilarating, and songs like "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" (a tongue-in-cheek history of the E Street Band) provide humor. "She's The One" puts the Bo Diddley beat to its most effective post-'50s use, and the title track is Springsteen's quintessential underdog epic.

Reviews  I love this CD! Was my favorite albun years ago!Review created: 06/28/08 by:  I love the heart and soul Springsteen puts into this CD! It's one of his originals! Also, Tim Russert's death brought it back to me. He was a fan and much of his memorials had Springsteen's tunes from this CD as background. Review ID: 10000000007732476 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Extremely SatisfiedI bought Bruce Springsteen's "Born To Run" on cassette in 1975! It is, as far as I am concerned, his best work! I was fifteen years old at the time and unfortunately wrecked the 69 chevelle that I owned and the tape went with it! I hadn't listened to that tape since then. After all these years I was looking on EBAY, saw it and had to have it! Man! Talking about bringing back memories! This was actually my first purchase on EBAY, and thanks to them, it will definately not be my last! Review ID: 10000000002812749 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run Is The First Rock Album I Ever BoughtReview created: 07/25/01 by: AliventiAsylum -- a member of Epinions Pros: everything Cons: nothing I can still remember it as clear as anything: I was about twelve years old and visiting friends in New Jersey. I wandered into a K-Mart and into the record department where I first caught glimpse of the album cover. "Yeah," I thought, "That's that Springsteen guy I've been hearing so much about." I had to wait a week until I got home to play the album, but when it did, my world changed. Albums I'd owned up until then included The Bay City Rollers, The Partridge Family, and the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Disco and bubblegum... For the first time I heard rock. Meaningful songs about the... Review ID: 10000000000234116 GROWIN' UP SPRINGSTEEN III: "pullin' out of here to win"Review created: 05/01/05 by: Stairway2Drew-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Music Pros: Earnest, accessible, grandiose, and wonderful. Cons: Unfairly designated Springsteen's best album. I've been writing about Bruce Springsteen for three reviews now - four if you count my review for Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell, which discussed Bruce's Born to Run almost as much as it did the album in question - and it's been brought to my attention (by nobody other than myself, of course) that I've been as verbose about the Boss as I've been silent about his E Street Band. There's a natural temptation, of course, with a frontman of such well-deep and sea-wide talent, to forsake all other parties and just concentrate on the-man-the-myth-the-lengend, but there's a reason the E Street Band is... Review ID: 10000000000234108 Born to Run: They Just Don't Make Them Like This AnymoreReview created: 09/23/04 by: MattA75 -- a member of Epinions Pros: everything...seriously Cons: DNA: does not apply I've been listening to the new Green Day record, American Idiot, just about non-stop in the car and at home since I purchased it on Tuesday on my lunch break. It's an extremely solid record, and in what has been a weak year for rock, is very likely the best album of the year. The other album I've been listening to a lot lately (mostly at work) is Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run. It is upon listening to an album like Born to Run that one realizes they just don't make albums like this anymore. Who's they, you ask? Well, anyone. While it may seem short by today's standards (at only 8 tracks and.. Review ID: 10000000000234105 It's a town full of losersReview created: 04/14/00 by: buffoonery -- a member of Epinions Pros: Unsurpassed rock and roll Cons: Why be technical? "and I'm pulling out of here to win." That closing line of "Thunder Road" sets the tone for one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded. "Born to Run" was released in my senior year of high school and I figured that, between the cover stories on Time and Newsweek and my fixation on King Crimson and Emerson, Lake Review ID: 10000000004527742 "Tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken"Review created: 09/19/04 by: foxy_shy -- a member of Epinions Pros: Read the review! Cons: These days this CD costs around 7 (seven) bucks. That s sacrilege. I wanna pay more. How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb? Border Collie: Just one. And then I ll replace any wiring that s not up to code. Rottweiler: Make me. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeze, please, please, please! Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we ve got our whole lives ahead of us and you re inside worrying about a STUPID BURNED OUT BULB? We ve all got stories about us and albums that have influenced our lives. Today.. Review ID: 10000000000234109 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
