Buch „Magic in the Night: The Words and Music of Bruce Springsteen“

Am 31. März 2009 erscheint ein neues Bruce Springsteen Taschenbuch mit dem Titel „Magic in the Night: The Words and Music of Bruce Springsteen“.

Produktbeschreibung:

The definitive look at The Boss and how his music has both shaped and confronted American mythology

Emerging on the music scene with 1973’s „Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.“, Bruce Springsteen was heralded as „the future of rock and roll“, and since then his influence and popularity have exploded. Rob Kirkpatrick’s Magic in the Night uses Springsteen’s biography as a lens through which listeners can reevaluate his music as he morphs from „the next Bob Dylan“ to a Reagan-era pop culture icon, and again to today’s populist voice, discussing each album in chronological order. Kirkpatrick’s keen insights show why the classic 1975 album „Born to Run“ is the most popular album of all time (according to a recent ZagatSurvey) and what’s made Springsteen the most respected and influential artist in rock music.

Though his career has been widely documented, Springsteen fans have never had a book like this one, which lets them immerse themselves in his music and learn about his influences, lyrical choices, and the themes Springsteen has been drawn to again and again in his career. Kirkpatrick’s in-depth analysis of Springsteen’s work–even unreleased songs–and the political controversies surrounding it make Magic in the Night a must for any true Springsteen fan.

Pressestimmen:

„Rob Kirkpatrick’s rich narrative sheds new light on the songs that have become a soundtrack for the American experience.“ – Mark K. Updegrove, former publisher of Newsweek and MTV Magazine

“Beautifully written.” – David Barker, editor, Continuum’s “33 1/3” series

“The Words and Music of Bruce Springsteen, by Rob Kirkpatrick, offers a fresh, compelling look at The Boss’s art, his life, and even his country.” – Library Media Connection

“This is a musical biography of rock singer Bruce Springsteen that travels chronologically through the artist’s many albums examining Springsteen’s creative processes of songwriting, performing, and recording. The author discusses cultural and social contexts for Springsteen’s music, lyrical themes and motifs, musical analysis, and musical and lyrical influences.” – Reference & Research Book News

“Other books have covered the life and works of popular musician Bruce Springsteen, but few offer the depth of analysis and critical assessment of The Words and Music of Bruce Springsteen, which opens with a brief biography, before it turns to the heart of the matter: all of his significant albums, in chronological order, which provide a musical analysis of themes, motifs, and underlying ideas. College-level students of popular music will appreciate the attention to detail and the insights which lend to a far greater appreciation for Bruce Springsteen’s works.”–Midwest Book Review – The Bookwatch

Das Taschenbuch kann im Bruce Springsteen Fan Shop (Rubrik: Bruce Springsteen Bücher) oder über Amazon.de vorbestellt werden.
