Born to Run is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen. It was released on August 25, 1975, by Columbia Records. Co-produced by Springsteen, his manager Mike Appel, and Jon Landau, the album was Springsteen's effort to break into the mainstream following the commercial disappointment of his first two albums. Springsteen's perfectionism led to arduous sessions with the E Street Band; recording sessions lasted from January 1974 to July 1975 in New York City, and six months were spent on the song "Born to Run" alone. Early radio play of "Born to Run" generated anticipation towards the album's release.

Born to Run encompasses genres from rock and roll and pop rock to power pop and R&B, and features production similar to Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. The album's lyrics focus on characters who feel trapped and want to escape to a better life through roads and traveling. Springsteen envisioned the songs taking place over one long summer day and night. They are also more wide-reaching and less tied to the New Jersey area than his previous work. The album cover, featuring Springsteen leaning on E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons's shoulder, is considered iconic and has been recreated by musicians and in other media.

Accompanied by an expensive promotional campaign, Born to Run was a commercial success, peaking at number three on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart in the United States, and reaching the top ten in three others. Two singles were released, "Born to Run" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", the first of which became a radio and live favorite. A large media hype surrounded the album's release, leading to backlash from critics who expressed skepticism over whether Springsteen's newfound attention was warranted. Following its release, he became embroiled in legal issues with Appel, leading him to tour the United States and Europe for almost two years. Upon release, Born to Run received highly positive reviews. Critics praised the cinematic storytelling and music, although some viewed its production as excessive and heavy-handed.

Born to Run revitalized Springsteen's career and made him a star. Its success has been attributed to its capturing the ideals of a generation of American youths during a decade of political turmoil, war, and issues for the working class. Retrospectively, the album is widely regarded as a masterpiece and one of Springsteen's best records. It has appeared on various lists of the greatest albums of all time and was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in 2003. Born to Run received an expanded reissue in 2005 to celebrate its 30th anniversary, featuring a concert film and a documentary detailing the album's making.

Background and development

Bruce Springsteen released his first two studio albums, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, in 1973 through Columbia Records. Both records were critically praised but sold poorly.Шаблон:Sfn[1][2] By 1974, he had yet to find greater success beyond the United States East Coast,Шаблон:Sfn and the label's confidence in Springsteen had fallen.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Management at Columbia had changed and the label reportedly favored their then-new upcoming artist, Billy Joel, to Springsteen.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Low morale plagued Springsteen's team, including his manager, Mike Appel, and his backing band, the E Street Band.Шаблон:Sfn After Springsteen refused a suggestion from CBS RecordsШаблон:Efn to record in Nashville, Tennessee, with outside musicians and producers,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn the label agreed to finance one more album. If it failed, they would drop him.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Appel successfully secured a slightly larger budget for the album but limited recording to 914 Sound Studios in Blauvelt, New York,Шаблон:Sfn the same studio as the first two albums.[3]

Шаблон:Quote box While lying in bed at his home in West Long Branch, New Jersey, Springsteen thought of the phrase "born to run": "I liked it because it suggested a cinematic drama I thought would work with the music I was hearing in my head."Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Inspired by the musical sounds and lyrical themes of 1950s and 1960s rock and roll artists such as Duane Eddy, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Phil Spector, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan, Springsteen began composing what became "Born to Run".Шаблон:Sfn He later wrote: "This was the turning point. It proved to be the key to my songwriting for the rest of the record."Шаблон:Sfn Envisioning the song as a "studio production",Шаблон:Sfn the new album would be the first time Springsteen used the studio as an instrument rather than simply replicate the sound of live performances.Шаблон:Sfn

Production history

914 Sound Studios

The recording sessions for the album began at 914 Sound Studios in January 1974.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen and Appel acted as co-producers; Greetings and Wild producer Jimmy Cretecos had departed Springsteen's company in early 1974, citing low profits.Шаблон:Sfn Louis Lahav, the engineer from both albums, returned for these sessions. The members of the E Street Band were saxophonist Clarence Clemons, organist Danny Federici, pianist David Sancious, bassist Garry Tallent, and drummer Ernest Carter;Шаблон:Sfn Carter had replaced Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez, whom Springsteen fired in February over poor personal behavior.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The band went back and forth between studio recording and live performances.Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen used the latter to develop new material,Шаблон:Sfn and he spent more time in the studio refining songs than he had on the previous two albums.[4] The new album's working titles included From the Churches to the Jails, The Hungry and the Hunted, War and Roses, and American Summer.Шаблон:Sfn

Recording for "Born to Run" lasted six months.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen's perfectionism led to arduous sessions:Шаблон:Sfn he obsessed over every syllable, note, and tone of every texture, and he struggled to capture the sounds he heard in his head onto tape.[3]Шаблон:Sfn[5] His desire for a Phil Spector-type Wall of Sound production meant multiple instruments were assigned to each track on the studio's 16-track mixing console; each new overdub made the process harder,Шаблон:Sfn making mixing difficult.Шаблон:Sfn As he kept rewriting the lyrics,Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen and Appel created several mixes containing electric and acoustic guitars, piano, organ, horns, synthesizers, and a glockenspiel, as well as strings and female backing vocalists.Шаблон:Sfn "Born to Run" reportedly had up to five different versions.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn According to Springsteen, the final song had 72 different tracks squeezed onto the 16 tracks of the mixing console.Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen was pleased with the final mix,Шаблон:Sfn completed in August 1974.Шаблон:Sfn CBS/Columbia refused to release "Born to Run" as an early single, wanting an album to promote it.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Multiple image The same month "Born to Run" was completed, Sancious and Carter departed the E Street Band to form their own jazz fusion band, Tone. They were replaced by pianist Roy Bittan and drummer Max Weinberg.[3]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Bittan had a background in symphony orchestra and had previously known of Springsteen's music, but Weinberg had not and had experience with various rock bands and Broadway productions.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The two meshed well with the rest of the band, offering new musical insights and relaxed personalities that eased tensions that had built up over years of recording and performing.Шаблон:Sfn Bittan mostly replaced Federici on the album, whose sole contribution was the organ part on "Born to Run".Шаблон:Sfn Bittan later said he believed this was due to both men's different performing styles and Bittan wanting to "prove himself" as a new member of the group.Шаблон:Sfn

Recording at 914 continued into late October 1974.Шаблон:Sfn The band made attempts at "Jungleland", "She's the One", "Lovers in the Cold", "Backstreets", and "So Young and in Love", but faulty equipment and Springsteen's lack of direction and confidence halted progress.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Music critic Dave Marsh suggested that Springsteen remained at the subpar 914 Studios because studio costs built up, even though superior ones were available.Шаблон:Sfn In November,Шаблон:Sfn Appel sent an early version of "Born to Run" to various radio stations around the United States, which CBS executives viewed as professional misconduct.Шаблон:Sfn The stunt generated interest the track and anticipation built toward the album's release;Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn prompting Columbia to fund further sessions.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn "Born to Run" became frequently requested on radio and at shows.Шаблон:Sfn

By January 1975, the band had been working for over a year, with only one finished track.Шаблон:Sfn Production continued to be plagued by faulty equipment, false starts, and Springsteen's desire for more takes.Шаблон:Sfn A new track, "Wings for Wheels" (an early version of "Thunder Road") debuted live in February.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen felt he lacked direction,Шаблон:Sfn and he requested production advice from writer and producer Jon Landau, who had criticized the production on Wild in an article for The Real Paper.Шаблон:Sfn[5] The two met in Boston in April 1974 and developed a close friendship after.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In February, Landau was invited to a session, where he suggested moving the saxophone solo on "Wings for Wheels" to the end rather than in the middle.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen liked the change and hired Landau as co-producer of the album.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Record Plant

In March 1975,Шаблон:Efn[4]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Landau moved the recording sessions from 914 to the superior Record Plant in Manhattan, a favorite of artists such as Aerosmith and John Lennon.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Landau helped Springsteen regain focus and direction with a fresh perspective.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen told Rolling Stone in 1975: "[Landau] came up with the idea, 'Let's make a rock and roll record.' Things had fallen down internally. He got things on their feet again."Шаблон:Sfn Appel disliked Landau's presence and viewed him as a threat to his authority.Шаблон:Sfn The two producers had opposing views, which Springsteen met in the middle of.Шаблон:Sfn Like the band, the two helped Springsteen complete already devised ideas, not think of new ones.Шаблон:Sfn These sessions were engineered by Jimmy Iovine; Louis Lahav was unavailable due to family commitments.Шаблон:Sfn Iovine had recently engineered Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll album (1975).Шаблон:Sfn

Sessions at the Record Plant lasted from March to July 1975.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Apart from a few live performances, Springsteen spent most of these months working on the album.Шаблон:Sfn The sessions were grueling.Шаблон:Sfn They dragged on despite increased professionalism brought by Landau and Iovine.Шаблон:Sfn While the basic backing tracks and vocals were recorded with little difficulty, Springsteen struggled with overdubs and finishing the writing.Шаблон:Sfn In the words of authors Philippe Margotin and Jean-Michel Guesdon, "Springsteen's perfectionism bordered on madness";Шаблон:Sfn he sometimes spent hours revising single linesШаблон:Sfn or taking days to figure out the song arrangements.Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen later said: "[The sessions] turned into something that was wrecking me, just pounding me into the ground."Шаблон:Sfn Weinberg called it the hardest project of his career, and Federici said "[we] ate, drank, and slept [that album]".Шаблон:Sfn Work was mostly done between 3 p.m. and 6 a.m. the following morning.Шаблон:Sfn

"Wings for Wheels", now called "Thunder Road", was finished in April. Springsteen reportedly took 13 hours to complete his guitar parts.Шаблон:Sfn "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" and "Night" followed in May.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn For "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", Springsteen hired the Brecker Brothers (Randy and Michael), David Sanborn, and Wayne Andre to play horn parts.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen and Bittan failed to write proper horn parts by the time the players arrived to record,Шаблон:Sfn so Springsteen's friend and former Steel Mill bandmate Steven Van Zandt conceived them on the spot in the studio.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Van Zandt joined the E Street Band shortly after.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen used lyrical ideas from "She's the One" to complete "Backstreets", originally "Hidin' on the River".[3] "Meeting Across the River", originally "The Heist", featured Richard Davis on double bass. Davis had previously contributed to "The Angel" on Greetings.Шаблон:Sfn "Jungleland" featured violin from Suki Lahav, wife of Louis Lahav,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and a long saxophone solo from Clemons, which he spent 16 hours replaying to Springsteen's satisfaction;Шаблон:Sfn he dictated almost every note played.Шаблон:Sfn Clemons played several different solos, bits of which were then edited together into one piece; he then reproduced the final result.Шаблон:Sfn

Mixing

According to Iovine, the album was mixed in "nine days straight".Шаблон:Sfn The final days were hectic; the band worked vigorously between recording for the album and rehearsing for an upcoming tour scheduled to start on July 20.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen wrote in his 2016 autobiography Born to Run: "In a three-day, 72-hour sprint, working in three studios simultaneously, Clarence and I finishing the 'Jungleland' sax solo, phrase by phrase, in one, while we mixed 'Thunder Road' in another, singing 'Backstreets' in a third."Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen was demanding and refused to compromise,Шаблон:Sfn saying at the time that he could "only hear the things that were wrong with it".Шаблон:Sfn Appel and Landau fought to keep certain tracks on the finished album. Appel succeeded in leaving "Linda Let Me Be the One" and "Lonely Night in the Park" off and keeping "Meeting Across the River" on.Шаблон:Sfn Mixing lasted until July 20, just before the tour began.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The album was mastered by engineer Greg Calbi[6] while the band were on tour.Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen was furious at the initial acetate, throwing it into the swimming pool of the hotel he was staying at.Шаблон:Sfn[5] He contemplated scrapping the entire project and re-recording it live before he was stopped by Landau.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen was sent multiple mixes as he was on the road and rejected all of them, approving the final one in early August.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Outtakes

The seven known outtakes from the album included "Linda Let Me Be the One", "Lonely Night in the Park", "A Love So Fine", "A Night Like This", "Janey Needs a Shooter", "Lovers in the Cold", and "So Young and in Love".Шаблон:Sfn "Linda Let Me Be the One" and "So Young and in Love" were released on the Tracks box set in 1998.Шаблон:Sfn Masur said the former fit the narrative theme of the album, but musically would have "upset the balance" of the final eight tracks.Шаблон:Sfn Rough mixes of the unreleased songs "Lovers in the Cold" ("Walking in the Street") and "Lonely Night in the Park" surfaced in 2005, when they made their debut on E Street Radio.Шаблон:Sfn "Janey Needs a Shooter" was later re-worked by Springsteen and Warren Zevon into the track "Jeannie Needs a Shooter" for Zevon's 1980 album Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School.Шаблон:Sfn A 2019 recording of the original "Janey Needs a Shooter" was released on Springsteen's 2020 album Letter to You.[7]

Music and lyrics

The music on Born to Run encompasses rock and roll, pop rock, power pop, R&B, and folk-rock.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Author Peter Ames Carlin states that the album captures "the essence of fifties rock 'n' roll and the beatnik poetry of sixties folk-rock, projected onto the battered spirit of mid-seventies America".Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen wrote most of the songs on piano,Шаблон:Sfn[8] which Kirkpatrick felt gave them "a particular melodic feel".Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen later said Bittan's piano "really defined the sound" of the album.[9] The record's production is similar to Phil Spector's Wall of Sound,Шаблон:Sfn[10] in which layers of instruments and complex arrangements are combined to make each song resemble a symphony.Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen said that he wanted Born to Run to sound like "Roy Orbison singing Bob Dylan, produced by Spector".[11] He used Orbison's style for his vocal delivery and Duane Eddy as inspiration for his guitar parts.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The songs themselves feature introductions that set the tone and scene for each.[9][11]

Шаблон:Quote box Springsteen's envisioned the album's songs as taking place during one summer day and night.[8]Шаблон:Sfn[12] According to Masur, the album is centrally driven by "loneliness and the search for companionship".Шаблон:Sfn The characters are "grounded",Шаблон:Sfn regular peopleШаблон:Sfn "trapped by the space they inhabit"; difference places, such as streets and roads, offer a way out but are not ideal places.Шаблон:Sfn Utilizing a "four corners approach" to album sequencing,[13] both sides of the original LP began with songs that were optimistic and promised hope and ended with songs of betrayal and pessimism.Шаблон:Sfn[12] Across the album's eight songs,Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen writes about the night and the city ("Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", "Backstreets", and "Meeting Across the River"), an irresistible real or imaginary woman ("She's the One"), the enslavement of the working class ("Night"); and the highway as a means of escape and coming-of-age journey ("Thunder Road", "Born to Run", and "Jungleland").Шаблон:Sfn Journalist Veronika Hermann noted the album is mostly driven by "the dynamic of action", such as running, meeting, hiding, and driving.[14]

Born to Run was written during a time when the idea of the American Dream was unobtainable to many Americans in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, Watergate scandal, and the 1973 oil crisis.Шаблон:Sfn Carlin writes that Springsteen's hopeful songs, containing ideals such as a road can take you anywhere, were "stunning" during a period marked by assassinations, war, political corruption, and collapse of the hippie subculture.Шаблон:Sfn Hermann analyzed the lyrics as experiments in nostalgia, arguing that the "heroes and heroines of Born to Run are facing the loss of security and stability, [and] facing the consequences of a lost war," leading to the choice to runaway from the "runaway American dream".[14] Springsteen worked a "very, very long" time writing the lyrics because he wanted to avoid tropes of "classic rock 'n' roll clichés", turning them instead into fully developed and emotional characters: "It was the beginning of the creation of a certain world that all my others would refer back to, resonate off of, for the next 20 or 30 years."[9]

Inspired by the noir-like B movies Springsteen enjoyed at the time,Шаблон:Sfn the songs are largely autobiographical: Springsteen wanted to experience and capture new ideals based on his life experiences at the time.[9]Шаблон:Sfn Like his first two albums, Born to Run includes religious imagery, specifically the idea of "searching",Шаблон:Sfn although it is undercut by a darker, apocalyptic landscape.Шаблон:Sfn Unlike Greetings and Wild, however, the songs on Born to Run are not specifically tied to New Jersey and New York, instead shifting to all of the United States in an attempt to be more accessible to a wider audience.Шаблон:Sfn[15]Шаблон:Sfn[8] Springsteen himself said "most of the songs are about being nowhere".Шаблон:Sfn

Side one

Taking inspiration from the 1958 film of the same name,[3] "Thunder Road" is an invitation to travel on a long journey.Шаблон:Sfn The song's narrator pleads with a romantic partner to join him in leaving their life behind to start anew,[16] believing there is no time to wait and they must act now.Шаблон:Sfn Masur argues the song "lays out hopes and dreams, and the remainder of the album is an investigation into whether, and in what ways, they can be realized."Шаблон:Sfn Kirkpatrick believes the track to be a rewritten version of WildШаблон:'s "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" with a "less innocent, more realistic perspective".Шаблон:Sfn Described by BillboardШаблон:'s Kenneth Patridge as a "five-minute pop opera",[17] the music builds throughout the runtime;[18] the instruments join in as the narrator's vision solidifies.Шаблон:Sfn AllMusic's James Gerard characterizes the tone as more melancholic than uplifting.[18]

A man on stage holding a guitar
Steven Van Zandt (pictured in 2012) composed the horn arrangement for "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" on the spot in the studio. He joined the E Street Band shortly after.

"Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" follows a character named Bad Scooter who is "searching for his groove" and "a place to fit in".Шаблон:Sfn Part autobiographical and part mythological,[17] the song refers to Springsteen himself and the E Street Band as they struggle to find commercial success up to that point; they find success after the "Big Man" (Clemons on saxophone) joins the band in the third verse.[3]Шаблон:Sfn[16][19] Author Peter Carlin describes it as "the E Street Band's creation myth and a meditation on the transformative power of friendship".Шаблон:Sfn Musically, it is a funky R&B song led by brass horns.Шаблон:Sfn[19]Шаблон:Sfn Margotin and Guesdon compared it to the sound of a Stax record.Шаблон:Sfn In his 2003 book Songs, Springsteen described "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" as a "band bio and block party".Шаблон:Sfn

"Night", the shortest song on the album,[17][3] follows a man who is a slave to the working life. He dreads working his nine-to-five job, but his love for drag racing motivates him to work so he can live for the night.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Similar to other album tracks, it uses the highway as a means for escape.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Sfn Musically, the song contains various minor and major key shifts in the music; Masur argues the minor key "condemns the monotonous world of daytime work" and the major key "offers the possibilities of screeching off into the night".Шаблон:Sfn Margotin and Guesdon highlight the wall of sound production and compare its rock-and-roll sound to Chuck Berry.Шаблон:Sfn

Described by Masur as "operatic and theatrical",Шаблон:Sfn "Backstreets" features a long piano-led intro. The band took inspiration from various Dylan and Orbison songs for the instrumental parts.Шаблон:Sfn Lyrically, "Backstreets" tells the story of the narrator's friendship with an individual named Terry, using both realistic and poetic imagery. The two become close until their relationship is broken after Terry leaves the narrator for someone else, after which the narrator "reflects that he and Terry did not turn out to be the heroes 'we thought we had to be'." Terry's gender is unclear, leading some reviewers to interpret the relationship as homosexual.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Efn[16][17][13] The song contains autobiographical elements to Springsteen's youth, with cinematic references.Шаблон:Sfn

Side two

"Born to Run" uses an automobile as a means of escape from a depressing life.Шаблон:Sfn The characters, who are described as "tramps",Шаблон:Sfn include the narrator and a girl named Wendy. The former works a dreary job, "sweating out" the "runaway American dream", and joins a car community at night.Шаблон:Sfn He tells Wendy the town they live in is a "death trap" and they need to leave "while [they're] young" because "tramps like usШаблон:Nbsp... were born to run".Шаблон:Sfn Reviewers have analyzed the song's anthemic message as containing both an "underlying sadness"Шаблон:Sfn and "a feeling of desperation",Шаблон:Sfn as the narrator promises Wendy they will one day reach the promised land, but he does not know when. He simply wants to run away with her to "help him discover if his youthful notions of love are real", and "pledges his desire to die with her in the street" and love her "with all the madness in [his] soul".Шаблон:Sfn The song's music combines rock and roll and hard rock with rockabilly, jazz, and Tin Pan Alley,Шаблон:Sfn complete with a wall of sound production.Шаблон:Sfn AllMusic's Jason Ankeny described the song as "a celebration of the rock & roll spirit, capturing the music's youthful abandon, delirious passion, and extraordinary promise with cinematic exhilaration".[20]

A man playing a double bass
Richard Davis (pictured in 1987) played double bass on "Meeting Across the River".

"She's the One" is about the narrator's complete obsession for a girl.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The girl, however, is a liar and bad for him, yet he keeps returning to her.[3]Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen never revealed the song's inspiration, although Margotin and Guesdon suggest it was Karen Darvin, Springsteen's girlfriend at the time.Шаблон:Sfn The song musically incorporates a Bo Diddley beat.[17]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The jazzy[3] "Meeting Across the River" musically and lyrically departs from the previous songs,Шаблон:Sfn utilizing piano and trumpet to create what Margotin and Guesdon describe as a "film noir jazz ambience" that "clashes with the other tracks".Шаблон:Sfn In it, the narrator and his partner Eddie are small-time gangsters who plan an illegal deal across the Hudson River, striving for a big score that will earn him a large amount of money to impress his girlfriend.[3][17]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn With themes of despair and hopelessness, the song ends before a narrative resolution, leaving whether or not the gangsters succeeded ambiguous.Шаблон:Sfn The song reuses themes dating back to Greetings, wherein a small-town man is attracted to a big city.Шаблон:Sfn

The final track, "Jungleland", takes place in the titular Jungleland, where a meeting between gang members at midnight is interrupted by the police.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn With a dark atmosphere,Шаблон:Sfn the track observes a New Jersey gang member known as the Magic Rat, who escapes law enforcement in Harlem with his unnamed "barefoot girl". Towards the end, the Rat and girl have lost their importance; she leaves him and he is killed in the streets.Шаблон:Sfn Masur analyzes that the Rat was gunned down by his "own dream", symbolizing that "the runaway American dream will kill us in the end, and the dream of escape is just another version that entraps us."Шаблон:Sfn Following his demise, death and destruction continues across the streets until they are left in complete devastation.Шаблон:Sfn Over nine minutes in length,[21] the track is led by Springsteen's vocal, Bittan's piano, and Suki Lahav's violin,Шаблон:Sfn and features an extended saxophone solo from Clemons that lasts for over two minutes.Шаблон:Sfn

The cover art of Born to Run was taken by photographer Eric Meola at his personal studio on June 20, 1975. Springsteen's busy recording schedule meant he kept missing shooting dates.[22]Шаблон:Sfn When he finally showed up, he brought Clemons,Шаблон:Sfn who he wanted on the cover.[22]Шаблон:Sfn Meola shot 900 frames in the three-hour session,Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Sfn some of which showed Springsteen under a fire escape, tuning a radio, and with a guitar;[22] several unused shots were used by Columbia for advertising.Шаблон:Sfn The chosen black-and-white shotШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn shows Springsteen holding a guitar while leaning against Clemons.Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen wears black leather, and Clemons is in a white shirt with black hat.Шаблон:Sfn Meola said the shot was a clear standout:[22] "I wanted something that was nearly impossible to print, but beautiful to look at if printed perfectly—somehow innocent yet street-smart."Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen's guitar strap dons an Elvis Presley pin, which he wore to display Presley's inspiration on him as a musician.Шаблон:Sfn His guitar, a Fender Telecaster with an Esquire neck,[23] later appeared on the covers of Live 1975–85 (1986), Human Touch (1992), and Greatest Hits (1995).Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen later remarked: "It was one of those records that you didn't have to hear. When you saw the cover, you said: 'I want that one'."[22] The cover was included in a Rolling Stone readers poll of the best album covers of all time in 2011.[24] Masur referred to the cover as "classic" and "one of the most iconic images in rock history".Шаблон:Sfn

The image covers both side of the LP sleeve; the inside features lyrics and a portrait of Springsteen.Шаблон:Sfn Columbia's art director John Berg created the fold-over sleeve, and Andy Engel was responsible for the typography.[22] Berg later stated that "it probably took a week of negotiating" with the label to create the fold-over cover because "it was breaking the code; we didn't do that unless we had two records."[22] Landau's name was misspelled as "John" instead of "Jon" on the initial pressings; Columbia printed stickers to cover up the error—reportedly up to 400,000.Шаблон:Sfn A few original pressings have "Meeting Across the River" billed under its initial title "The Heist", and the original album cover has the title handwritten with a broad-nib pen. These copies, known as the "script cover", are very rare and among the most sought after of Springsteen memorabilia.Шаблон:Sfn

Springsteen and Clemons occasionally remade the cover pose onstage during their concerts.[12] The pose has since been imitated by musicians including Cheap Trick on the album Next Position Please (1983), Tom and Ray Magliozzi on the cover of the Car Talk compilation Born Not to Run: More Disrespectful Car Songs (2003), Mai Kuraki for the cover of her single "Stand Up" (2001), and Los Secretos for their album Algo prestado (2015).Шаблон:Sfn[25] Outside of music, the webcomic strip Kevin and Kell imitated the pose on a Sunday strip entitled "Born to Migrate", featuring Kevin Dewclaw as Springsteen with a carrot and Kell Dewclaw as Clemons with a pile of bones, and the Sesame Street characters Bert and the Cookie Monster imitated the pose on the cover of the Sesame Street album Born to Add.[25]Шаблон:Sfn

Release and promotion

Springsteen and the E Street Band went on a tour of the US east coast on July 20, 1975, immediately after mixing on Born to Run was completed; Springsteen approved the final master recording while on the road.Шаблон:Sfn The tour continued into August, including a five-night, ten-show stint at the Bottom Line nightclub in Greenwich Village, all of which sold out instantly.Шаблон:Sfn Columbia used these performances for promotion, purchasing one-fifth of the venue tickets for rock journalists and media.Шаблон:Sfn Expectations were high. Clemons remembered: "We were right on the verge. If we had flopped at the Bottom Line, it would have been very detrimental to us emotionally."[26] The shows were a major success, receiving praise from the publications The New York Times and The Village VoiceШаблон:Sfn and former Columbia Records president Clive Davis.Шаблон:Sfn Kirkpatrick stated they "showed rock fans and media alike that Springsteen was no creation of industry hype; he was the real deal."Шаблон:Sfn Rolling Stone later included the shows in a 1987 list chronicling 20 concerts that changed rock and roll.[26]

Born to Run was accompanied by a $250,000 promotional campaign by Columbia/CBS,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn directed at both consumers and the music industry, led by executive Glen Brunman.Шаблон:Sfn In the buildup to the album's release, CBS spent $40,000 on advertisements that used Springsteen's first two albums and Landau's "I saw rock and roll future and its name is Bruce Springsteen" quote to generate interest; the quote had been published in The Real Paper after Landau witnessed Springsteen perform "Born to Run" for the first time live in May 1975.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Sfn The ads increased sales of both albums significantly enough to chart on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart, barely above number 60, two years after their original releases.Шаблон:Sfn Preorders for Born to Run were upwards of 350,000 units, more than twice the sales of Greetings and Wild combined.Шаблон:Sfn

Released on August 25, 1975,Шаблон:Efn[27][10] Born to Run peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart[28] and remained on the chart for over two years,Шаблон:Sfn eventually going six times platinum in the US.Шаблон:Sfn It also topped the Record World chartШаблон:Sfn and reached number 36 on the UK Albums Chart.Шаблон:Efn[29] Elsewhere, Born to Run reached number 7 in Australia,Шаблон:Sfn the Netherlands,[30] and Sweden,[31] 20 in Ireland,[32] 26 in Norway,[33] 28 in New Zealand,[34] and 31 in Canada.[35] By the end of 1975, it had sold 700,000 copies.Шаблон:Sfn The album was supported by two singles. The first, "Born to Run" with "Meeting Across the River" as the B-side, was released on August 25, 1975,Шаблон:Sfn reached number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100,Шаблон:Sfn and proved popular with radio stations and live audiences.Шаблон:Sfn The second, "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" backed by "She's the One",Шаблон:Sfn appeared in January 1976Шаблон:Sfn and reached number 83.[3]

Media hype and backlash

A large media hype surrounded Springsteen around the time of Born to RunШаблон:'s release. On October 27, 1975,Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen became the first artist to appear on the covers of Time and Newsweek magazines simultaneously.[36] Both magazines wrote cover stories on Springsteen. TimeШаблон:'s Jay Cocks focused on him as an artist, praising his music as "primal" and "directly in touch with all the impulses of wild humor and glancing melancholy, street tragedy and punk anarchy that have made rock the distinctive voice of a generation."Шаблон:Sfn Conversely, NewsweekШаблон:'s Maureen Orth focused on Columbia's promotional campaign[36]Шаблон:Sfn and the hype surrounding Springsteen rather than him as an artist,Шаблон:Sfn insisting that Springsteen was an industry-made pop star.Шаблон:Sfn

The question of hype became a story in itself, as critics began wondering if Springsteen was for real or the product of record company promotion.[37][38] Journalist John Sinclair of the Ann Arbor Sun claimed that Dave Marsh and Jon Landau were "co-conspirators on a massive Springsteen hype".Шаблон:Sfn Examinations on the hype continued after the album's release with articles by BusinessWeek and England's Melody Maker, the latter arguing that Springsteen was "no hype" at all because he "is really good", and Шаблон:"'hype' only services artists who do not deserve the attention".Шаблон:Sfn Masur stated: "Most of the backlash against Springsteen came in the form of disgust with the hype, not the music, even though writing about the hype only fed the publicity machine."Шаблон:Sfn

Springsteen was hurt by the media backlash, particularly an article by Henry Edwards in The New York Times that slandered both himself and Born to Run.[37]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He felt the publicity got out of his controlШаблон:Sfn and that Columbia's campaign labeling him the future of rock and roll was "a very big mistake".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He also reportedly felt a loss of innocence after the album's release, saying to have reached a low point in the immediate months.Шаблон:Sfn When the hype died down, sales tapered off and Born to Run was off the chart after 29 weeks.Шаблон:Sfn In his 1999 book Flowers in the Dustbin, former Rolling Stone and Newsweek writer James Miller wrote that the "mass-marketing" of Springsteen in the US and David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust in the UK led to the notion that "the age of innocence in rock was well and truly over—probably forever."Шаблон:Sfn

Born to Run continued to be a strong catalog seller through the years, re-entering the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart in late 1980 after Springsteen's fifth album The River was released,[39] and again after the blockbuster success of his seventh album Born in the U.S.A. (1984), spending most of 1985 on the chart.[40][41] It was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1986, the first year in which pre-1976 releases were eligible for platinum and multi-platinum awards.[42]

Critical reception

Born to Run received highly positive reviews from music critics,[43] particularly for its cinematic storytelling and wall of sound production.[3] Greil Marcus wrote in Rolling Stone that Springsteen enhances romanticized American themes with his majestic sound, ideal style of rock and roll, evocative lyrics, and an impassioned delivery that defines what is a "magnificent" album.[44] John Rockwell of The New York Times described Born to Run as a masterpiece of "punk poetry" and "one of the great records of recent years".[38] In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau felt that Springsteen condenses a significant amount of American myth into songs, and often succeeds in spite of his tendency for histrionics and "pseudotragic beautiful loser fatalism": "Springsteen may well turn out to be one of those rare self-conscious primitives who get away with it."[45]

Шаблон:Multiple image Several critics saw Born to Run as the album that would elevate Springsteen to star status.[38][46][47] Reviewers praised the vocal performances,[48][49] music,[50][51][52][53] and production.[46] Born to Run was also positively compared by critics to Springsteen's previous albums,[47] who signaled out the lyrics being more accessible and having a "universal quality that transcends the sources and myths he drew upon".[38][54] Lester Bangs remarked in Creem that he is "no longer cramming as many syllables as possible into every line".[51] Writer Frank Rose also emphasized Springsteen's homage to girl groups from the 1960s, particularly ones embellishing themes of heartbreak and doo-wop sounds produced by Spector.Шаблон:Sfn The performances of the E Street Band were also highlighted, particularly Clemons.[46][55]

Some critics, including Bangs and Cocks,[51]Шаблон:Sfn hailed Springsteen as a visionary destined to save the rock genre[56] from, in Stephen Holden's words, "its present state of enervation".[48] Bangs said Springsteen "reminds us what it's like to love rock 'n' roll like you just discovered it, and then seize it and make it your own with certainty and precision".[51] Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times called Born to Run an "essential" album, stating: "It has been a long time since anyone in rock has put so much passion and ambition in an album."[57] In Circus Raves, Holden placed Born to Run amongst the decade's great albums with Layla (1970), Who's Next (1971), and Exile on Main St. (1972).[48] and David McGee placed Springsteen amongst rock greats such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan.[50]

Born to Run received negative reviews from some critics, who found the production excessive and "heavy-handed",[47][58] the songs "formulaic",[58] "an effusive jumble" and "undistinguished",[37] and felt Springsteen himself lacked a definitive vocal personality.[59] Langdon Winner argued in The Real Paper that, because Springsteen consciously adheres to traditions and standards extolled in rock criticism, Born to Run is "the complete monument to rock and roll orthodoxy".[60] Mike Jahn of High Fidelity complained about the songwriting, believing Springsteen was becoming typecast as a "character composer" after three albums.[61] Roy Carr of the NME unfavorably compared Springsteen to David Bowie, believing he lacked the latter's "breath of vision".[59] Carr also found the music uninspired and argued Springsteen himself "often tries too hard, going right over the top on many occasions as a result".[59] More moderately, Jerry Gilbert of Sounds believed Born to Run was not as "essential" as Greetings and Wild, but had enough "distinction" from the two albums to stand on its own: "I have grown to love it but newcomers to Bruce's music would be better advised to check out what the critics have been raving about in the past. Old fans will need to persevere."[55]

Born to Run was voted the third best album of 1975 in the Pazz & Jop, an annual critics poll run by The Village Voice, behind Bob Dylan and the Band's The Basement Tapes and Patti Smith's Horses.[62] Christgau, the poll's creator, ranked it 12th on his own year-end list.[63]

Springsteen and the E Street Band—comprising Bittan, Clemons, Federici, Tallent, Weinberg, and Van Zandt—continued touring throughout the remainder of 1975 to promote Born to Run, performing to larger audiences due to the album's success.Шаблон:Sfn In mid-November, the band traveled to England to begin a European tour set for early 1976. The first gigs were two performances at the Hammersmith Odeon in London,Шаблон:Sfn the band's first shows outside North America.Шаблон:Sfn When Springsteen arrived, he was displeased with the venue's advertisements; he personally tore down the lobby posters and ordered the buttons with Landau's quote printed on them not be given out.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The show itself drew mixed reviews from British reviewers. While his stage presence was positively received, other reviewers, particularly Melody MakerШаблон:'s Michael Watts, noted the difference in British and American cultures equated to poor audience responses.Шаблон:Sfn Springsteen himself thought the show was a disaster.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Upon their return to the US, the band played five sold-out shows at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia at the end of December.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Sfn

By 1976, Springsteen had disagreements with Appel over the direction of his career; Appel wanted to capitalize on Born to RunШаблон:'s success with a live album, but Springsteen wanted to return to the studio with Landau.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen was also concerned with the lack of personal revenue given the album's success.Шаблон:Sfn Realizing that the terms of his record contract were unfavorable, Springsteen sued Appel in July 1976 for ownership of his work. The resulting legal proceedings prevented him from recording in a studio for almost a year,Шаблон:Efn during which time he continued touring with the E Street Band.Шаблон:Sfn[64] The second leg of the Born to Run Tour, nicknamed the Chicken Scratch tour, ran from March to May 1976, throughout the American South.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Springsteen wrote new material on the road and at his farm home in Holmdel, New Jersey, reportedly amassing between 40 and 70 songs.Шаблон:Sfn[64] He continued performing for nine months between August 1976 and May 1977, dubbed the Lawsuit tour, debuting new songs such as "Something in the Night" and "The Promise" that became live favorites.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The lawsuit reached a settlement on May 28, 1977, in which Springsteen bought out his contract with Appel, who received a lump sum and a share of royalties from Springsteen's first three albums.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Springsteen and the band immediately entered the studio to record the follow-up to Born to Run at the start of June, with Landau co-producing.Шаблон:Sfn Nevertheless, the recording sessions lasted nine monthsШаблон:Sfn as Springsteen demanded perfection from the musicians and moved studios.Шаблон:Sfn The album, Darkness on the Edge of Town, was finally released in June 1978, three years after Born to Run.Шаблон:Sfn

Legacy

The success of Born to Run revitalized Springsteen's career[2] and launched him to stardom.[4]Шаблон:Sfn[65] The album established a solid national fan base for Springsteen, which he built on with each subsequent release.[66] With Born to Run, Springsteen established himself among the finest songwriters of the rock era.Шаблон:Sfn According to Kirkpatrick, the album "not only gave Springsteen his first hit record, it transformed seventies rock music while pushing the boundaries of what a singer-songwriter could achieve within the rock genre".Шаблон:Sfn Hilburn and Carlin compare Born to Run to albums that "established a sound and identity powerful enough to permanently alter the perceptions of those who heard it," including Elvis Presley's first album (1956) and The Sun Sessions (1976), the Beatles' American debut Meet the Beatles! (1964), Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited (1965) and Blonde on Blonde (1966), and Nirvana's Nevermind (1991).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Some critics argued Born to Run represented an amalgamation of the previous two decades of rock and roll that would push the next two decades of rock and beyond forward.[67]Шаблон:Sfn In a 2005 article, Hubert Vigilla of Treble referred to the album as "The Great American Rock and Roll Record".[13]

Springsteen and the E Street Band have performed Born to Run in its entirety on several occasions,[8] including at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey, on May 7, 2008,[68] at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on September 20, 2009,[69] as well as several other shows on the fall 2009 leg of the Working on a Dream Tour.[70] It was also partly or entirely performed on certain shows of the 2013 Wrecking Ball World Tour.[71] The full album was again performed on June 20, 2013, at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, England, and dedicated to the memory of actor James Gandolfini, who died of a heart attack the previous day.Шаблон:Efn[72]

Analysis

The album's success was tied to the fears of growing old held by a generation of late teenagers. Having missed the 1950s beat era and 1960s civil rights and anti-war movements, teenagers in the mid-1970s felt disconnected in an era of political turmoil with the Vietnam War and the resignation of president Richard Nixon.Шаблон:Sfn The decade was also plagued by stagflation that affected working class Americans, resulting in the loss of the American dream for many.[73] Commentators note that Born to Run collectively captured the ideals of an entire generation of American youths[5][74] and "spoke to the cultural shift" between the 1960s and 1970s.Шаблон:Sfn Joshua Zeitz of The Atlantic summarized: "Springsteen embodied the lost '70s—the tense, political, working-class rejection of America's limitations."[73] Far OutШаблон:'s Tim Coffman argued that Springsteen effectively embodied what it meant to be "a down-and-out working-class kid in America, dreaming of a better life."[21] Springsteen himself stated in 2005:Шаблон:Sfn

Retrospective reviews

Шаблон:Album ratings Retrospective reviewers consider Born to Run a masterpieceШаблон:Efn and one of Springsteen's best records.Шаблон:Efn It has been described as a timeless record[1][12] that set the stage for a career marked by a signature, distinctive sound and lyrics detailing aspirations towards the American dream.[17][65] Further praise was given to the instrumentation between Springsteen and the E Street Band,[74] and for its improvements over its predecessor, Wild.[10][12] Lou Thomas of BBC Music described the album as "a classic, honest musical expression of hope, dreams and survival".[75] Another writer from The Guardian, Michael Hann, said Born to Run was "the album where Springsteen starts to make the transition from a musician to an idea, a representation of a set of personal and musical values."[76]

Despite its acclaim, Born to Run has attracted negative attention from writers who felt the production was "too overblown",[77] and Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune felt the production labeled Springsteen as "more of a synthesist than an innovator".[78] AllMusic's William Ruhlmann conversely argues that "to call [the album] overblown is to miss the point", as doing so was Springsteen's intention, concluding that "it declared its own greatness with songs and a sound that lived up to Springsteen's promise".[10] In a later piece for Blender magazine, Christgau wrote that the record's major flaw was its pompous declaration of greatness, typified by elements such as the "wall-of-sound, white-soul-at-the-opera-house" aesthetic and an "unresolved quest narrative". Nonetheless, he maintained Born to Run was important for how "its class-conscious songcraft provided a relief from the emptier pretensions of late-hippie arena-rock."[79] PopMatters writer Christopher John Stephens argued the album's strengths can be viewed as its weaknesses.[80]

Rankings

Born to Run has frequently appeared on lists of the greatest albums of the 1970s[65][74][81] and of all time.Шаблон:Sfn[2] NMEШаблон:'s Matthew Taub argued that Born to Run is "probably the single best rock album of the 1970s, and easily one of the finest ever recorded".[82] American Songwriter included it in a 2023 list compiling 10 albums that shaped the 1970s music landscape.[81] In 1987, Rolling Stone ranked it number 8 in a list of the "100 Best Albums of the Last Twenty Years"[83] and in 2003, the magazine ranked it 18th on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,[84] maintaining the rating in a 2012 revision and dropping a few slots to number 21 in the 2020 reboot of the list.[85] In 2000, NPR included Born to Run in a list compiling the 100 most important albums in the 20th century.Шаблон:Sfn A year later, the TV network VH1 named it the 27th-greatest album of all time,[86] and in 2003, it was ranked as the most popular album of all time in the first Zagat Survey Music Guide.[87] The album was also voted number 20 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000),Шаблон:Sfn and was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (2006).Шаблон:Sfn

In 2003, Born to Run was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[88] In December 2005, US New Jersey representative Frank Pallone and 21 co-sponsors sponsored H.Res. 628, a bill that would have celebrated the 30th anniversary of Born to Run and Springsteen's overall career. In general, resolutions honoring native sons are passed with a simple voice vote. The bill failed upon referral to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.[89]

Reissues

Шаблон:Album ratings Born to Run was reissued in 1977, 1980, and 1993.Шаблон:Sfn On November 15, 2005,[90] Columbia reissued the album as an expanded box set to mark the album's 30th anniversary. Titled the 30th Anniversary Edition, the package included a remastered CD version of the original album, and a DVD containing a documentary on the making of the album called Wings for Wheels, and a concert film of Springsteen and the E Street Band at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on November 18, 1975.[91] Wings for Wheels features interviews with Springsteen and the E Street Band members, with a bonus film of a 1973 performance in Los Angeles.[92] The 30th Anniversary Edition received critical acclaim, with several praising the remastered sound.[15][93][90] Wings for Wheels won the Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in 2007.[94]

In 2014, a new remaster by engineer Bob Ludwig was included in The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973–1984, a boxed set composed of remastered editions of his first seven albums.[95] All seven albums were released separately as single discs for Record Store Day in 2015.[96][97]
