A couple of new books on the subject of Bruce Springsteen are coming out at the tail end of the month. First up is Clinton Heylin's 'E Street Shuffle: The Glory Days of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band' (published by Constable).
Note from Amazon.co.uk:
Bruce Springsteen is one of the most important and controversial rock
stars of our times: this is the story of the man - a complex, poetic
loner whose albums went on to sell 18 million copies - and the band that
gave his inner vision a punch and a swagger. Clinton Heylin has
written the most factually accurate, informative book on Springsteen to
date. As in Heylin's definitive Bob Dylan title Revolution in the Air, E
Street Shuffle will focus on Bruce Springsteen and his work: the songs
he's written, the way they were recorded, how they sounded live. Heylin
also has unparalleled access to the people around Springsteen: current
and former members of the E Street Band; CBS A&R personnel;
Springsteen's 'New Dylan' contemporaries, as well as fellow Asbury Park
musicians and scenesters, and rock critics. This is the essential book
for any fan of the Boss.
The second one is probably going to the one that will be most attractable to fans of Springsteen because it's a book written with the blessing of Springsteen himself. Peter Ames Carlin has penned 'Bruce' (published by Simon and Schuster Ltd).
Note from Amazon.co.uk:
After 3 decades of groundbreaking music Bruce Springsteen still manages
to amaze audiences around the world with his live shows and bring new
fans to his music with every album release. Highly acclaimed music
critic Peter Carlin tracks the Boss's dazzling ascent to fame, whilst
painting a vivid portrait of the real Springsteen: an insistently
private man who nevertheless would do anything for his fans. Recently,
in response to his mother's failing health, Springsteen decided he
wanted to tell his story, and that he wanted Carlin to tell it. He gave
Carlin many hours of interview time, including a trip to his family
home, and lett him preview his unreleased album. With unprecedented
access to Springsteen, his family, friends and management, Carlin
presents a riveting and highly personal account of Springsteen's life.
