Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska
We have all our ducks in a row for this episode, discussing an album, a film and a program available on streaming.
After the success of The River Bruce Springsteen was burnt out and frustrated. Wanting to avoid the difficult studio production process of the previous two albums, the boss retreated to a secluded property and invested in a fairly new invention - a four track portastudio. What emerged was one of the iconic albums of the 20th century.
We talk about the creative process, his struggle to fully realise his ambition, and the deep connection all three presenters feel to this album.
We include the recent Nebraska 82: Expanded edition, the biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, and the performance at the Count Basie theatre.
If you don't like Springsteen, Darren has some advice for you.
