Desert Island Recordings: Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen was totally spent after finishing a grueling year
long 140 date tour for his massively successful double record The
River. Needing a rest, he rented a house by a reservoir in Colt’s
Neck, New Jersey. His time spent there allowed him a little bit of
respite from life on the road and time apart from the fans. He was
able to fully take in and embrace his musical and literary
influences, past and present. And while the quiet allowed him to
take some time to reflect, he was dealing with insecurity,
depression, and the immense pressure that he felt from all sides.
And in the silence, he fell prey to a subconscious nagging about
the unconnected dots from his youth. Like so many other times in
his career, he turned to work and music to escape. However, in a
rented room with nothing but his demons, the sound that sprang
forth from the man was very different. This is part two of our
