Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. Great fucking album. You know it, and you probably love it. In 1982, Springsteen went off to record an LP of bleak, minimal acoustic songs that he recorded on his four-track in his bedroom. Springsteen recorded all those songs with his full E Street Band, but he ultimately decided that the acoustic versions were better, so that’s what came out. Nebraska was the throat-clearing before Springsteen and his band got together for the imperial pop blockbuster Born In The USA two years later. Nebraska has long been the preferred Springsteen album for rock-critic dorks like me. Later this year, we’ll all get to see Jeremy Allen White play Springsteen in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, the new major motion picture about the making of Nebraska. Now, Springsteen is getting ready to release a new Nebraska box set, which includes the mythic electric version of the record.
