"Absorbing. . . A fascinating portrait of a talented, ambitious and stubborn young man with strong creative instincts."--Los Angeles Times From the opening piano notes of "Thunder Road," to the final outro of "Jungleland"--with American anthems like "Born to Run" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" in between--Bruce Springsteen's seminal album, Born to Run, established Springsteen as a creative force in rock and roll.
