Bruce Springsteen's seminal album, Born to Run, established Springsteen as a creative force in rock and roll. Peter Ames Carlin, whose biography Bruce gave him access to Springsteen's inner circle, now returns with the story of the making of this epic album.
Carlin revisits those pivotal years with a fan’s fervor and a journalist’s attention to detail ... Like a director’s cut, Tonight in Jungleland expands on, updates and sometimes revises his researches into Springsteen’s self-invention in the 1970s ... Carlin’s prose heightens the drama of the album’s construction ... Vividly summons the album’s struggle and its spirit.
