Bruce Springsteen: All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track

A new, definitive look at one of music's greatest songbooks, by two expert authors.


The latest in the bestselling All the Songs series, Bruce Springsteen: All the Songs is the most in-depth exploration of The Boss's music ever written.

 

From Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ through Western Stars, this extensive, 670-page volume provides the full story behind each remarkable cut, with illuminating insights that reveal Springsteen's creative inspiration. It's the most complete history of one of the greatest musical legacies of all time and gives you the background on all the songs leading up to the Boss's new album, Letter to You.

 

Arranged chronologically by album, authors Margotin and Guesdon explore the details behind early hits such as Blinded by the Light and Spirit in the Night, to masterpieces such as Born to Run, Hungry Heart, Dancing in the Dark, Born in the U.S.A., The Rising, Tucson Train, and more - including outtakes, covers and rare tracks.

 

With hundreds of photographs and detailed analysis of every single song, this is the single-greatest record of Bruce Springsteen's music ever produced.

Philippe Margotin has written many books on music, including biographies of U2, Radiohead, and the Rolling Stones.

Jean-Michel Guesdon is a producer, musician, sound engineer, and writer. His work as a musician and composer gives him a unique insight into Springsteen's work.

Together, they have written in-depth All the Songs books on The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin.
