Greetings from Asbury Park, the E street shuffle, Born to run, Nebraska, The River..
have listened to all of them a thousand times.. but never listened to Darkness.. now I have to do it !!
Darkness on the Edge of Town and Born to Run are my favorite 2 albums of all time. New music from this era, Bruce's most productive, is very exciting. I am looking forward to November 16.
Cheers for the tip-off, looks like a great release!
