Essentials: Bruce Springsteen ‘Nebraska’ Album Review

In 1981 Springsteen went into the studio alone to record the mythic, powerful, unforgettable album Nebraska.

Moody, lush, enticingly slow and highly evocative, this may well be the most romantic album ever made.

The Memphis horns, the superb backup singers, and Dusty Springfield’s heartfelt approach make this an essential album.

The collaborative pairing resulted in a complete album by fabled alt-country superstars Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell.

So soulful and revelatory was Jimi’s playing that his catalogue inspires players and composers across every genre.

Almost 40 years on, this album still sounds fresh and filled with new ideas. It’s an Essential work from one of Canada’s greatest songwriters.
