Description

Zanes, a former guitarist for the Del Fuegos with a PhD in visual and cultural studies, makes you feel Springsteen’s implacable determination. The best part of the book is the closeness the author gets to Springsteen, (he was on board from the start ) they both eventually revisit t the rented house bedroom where the album was recored.

Zanes has emerged from the wilderness of Nebraska with one of the greatest books about the creative process ever written.Probing musicians’ backgrounds who influenced the world of rock in the 1960s and 1970s is a hobby for Dylan.

What Warren Zanes’ book does so well is to put this album into the context described above and to make sense of it within the wider story of American society. Deliver Me from Nowhere is profoundly felt, deeply understood, and (as it should be) full of joy and abandon—with a hint of menace. Any song could become a thousand different records, but sometimes the recording studio is a place of pure lightness because a song is becoming just the recording it should be. Zanes holds a PhD in visual and cultural studies from the University of Rochester and presently teaches at New York University.Whether you see Springsteen in them or not, whether the amps and guitars are in the room or not, you look at them knowing who was there once and what got done at the time, Darkness on the Edge of Town and much of The River. Even the shimmering immediacy of his three-CD Live 1975–1985 set, famously sweetened with overdubs, only approximates the way his shows created new meanings from familiar numbers. Whatever else he did, or is yet to do, he can always play the ultimate get-out-of-jail card: he’s the guy who made Nebraska.
