Free Music Notes for Nebraska

Free Music Review: Tales of cops and robbers
Hit: 5 Stars

If you painted pictures from these songs, they'd be in starkest black and white with splashes of red. The music itself is stark--just Bruce singing with his guitar and a harmonica howling sharp.

The title track is probably one of the scariest songs I have ever heard. The opening lyrics will make your hair stand up on end:

"I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died"

If Bruce isn't talking killers, he's talking cops. In "Highway Patrolman", Sgt Joe Roberts has got to put up with family trouble:

"Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down
I get a call over the radio Franky's in trouble downtown
Well if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away
But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way..."

There's poor kids watching how the rich live in "Mansion on the Hill," driving in the dark in "Open all Night," and a whole lot more. It's harsh, but in some cases hopeful. This is definitely not a party album or one you would listen to if you were needing to be cheered up, but the storytelling's some of the most solid around.

Rebecca Kyle, June 2008

Nebraska Poster

Hot on the heels of The River, his commercial breakthrough, Springsteen's decision to release the stark, demo-quality Nebraska seems downright perverse. But the genius of the album is unmistakable--with just an acoustic guitar and his howling harmonica to back him, Springsteen tells the stories of characters walking on both sides of the law, some of them directly on the line in between. The effect is that of a powerful series of black-and-white photographs--the details are bleak in and of themselves, but they ignite the imagination in ways that are more satisfying than full-color shots would be. "Mansion on the Hill," "Highway Patrolman," "Atlantic City," and the frightening "Nebraska" are among the most sharply rendered and memorable works of Springsteen's career. --Daniel Durchholz
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve.
