Bruce Springsteen than ever leaves us with these images so close to towards you. The album was recorded in early 1982 when Bruce with a four-track recorder a few demo versions recorded. As the songs were recorded with the band, he came to the conclusion that these versions and decided to publish them as they are really authentic. The result is a masterpiece. The songs are carried by his voice and the bittersweet harmonica sound. They are undecorated and there is all the more room for the bitter truths that they carry within themselves. You are barren and powerful at the same time. The cover photo reflects the atmosphere. Fascinating is the constant feeling of having been in the recordings there.
