Bruce Springsteen - The Promise
Darkness On The Edge Of Town was the first Bruce Springsteen album I purchased. It was unlike anything I'd heard before, and while some of it took a few listens to really "get", I was hooked, and had to go find more by this scraggly lookin' guy on the cover.
From there I picked up Born To Run, and like so many others my interest turned quickly into an obsession. And while there have been high impact moments on just about every Springsteen album (and then CD) since, for me there is still nothing quite like the experience of listening to Darkness On The Edge Of Town.
Evidently I'm not alone in this, as the newest offering from Bruce & the E Street Band is a DVD/CD set titled The Promise: The Darkness On The Edge Of Town Story.
There were ten songs on the Darkness album:
Badlands
Adam Raised A Cain
Something In The Night
Candy's Room
Racing In The Street
The Promised Land
Factory
Streets Of Fire
Prove It All Night
Darkness On the Edge Of Town
And as strong as each of these songs are, it is quite a shock to find out that these were culled from an initial list of better than seventy songs that Springsteen brought into the studio when they set out to make this album.
Watch the videos here for a preview of the interviews and the music that you will get when you finally get to see the DVD and listen to the CDs that make up this box set. I know I will be grabbing this one fast!
