- a complex poetic loner whose albums went on to sell 18 million copies
- & the band that gave his inner vision a punch & a swagger. Clinton Heylin has written the most factually accurate informative book on Springsteen to date. As in Heylin's definitive Bob Dylan title Revolution in the Air" "E Street Shuffle" will focus on Bruce Springsteen & his work: the songs he's written the way they were recorded how they sounded live.
