S2 E5 Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska" > "Born in the U.S.A." > "Tunnel of Love" - 3 Album Run
It's been a minute since our last proper episode, so thanks for bearing with us! We've been hard at work on two special episodes that break our normal format. Introducing "3 Album Runs." We'll devote a full episode to dive into 3 albums from one artist, discussing the music, the context in which they came out, and connecting the dots of how the music progressed over time.
Today, Danny takes the lead on a series of 3 albums from the Boss: Bruce Springsteen. This run takes place in the 80's when Bruce was at the height of fame, but the uninitiated may be surprised at what they hear: a subdued demo-tape of an album and a mostly solo "bedroom" divorce album as the bread of the meaty, saucy "Born in the U.S.A." samwidge.
Not only do we give our thoughts on these three albums, but we provide the context in which they came out: Bruce's arc up to this point, the state of his mental and physical health. Plus, where in the world is Little Steven, how did "A Star is Born" (2017) predict the future of popular music - and what does that have to do with Bruce Springsteen???
Next week we will discuss a 3 album run from J Dilla, and then we'll be back to the regular format.
