Tonight's Vinyl Selection



Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

1975

The Boss' breakout album. His third effort yielded a big sound, big songs, lots of keyboards, big drums. And the big, classic, songs to match, with the theme of saying goodbye to a perhaps misspent youth. A classic and one I listen to often! Every single song a masterpiece!

Includes "Thunder Road," "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," "Born To Run"

but my fave on this whole album is "Backstreets". Just wow.

Often gives me insight into music I have forgotten or missed. I grew up in a rural area in North Texas. There were no rock stations here until mid to late 1980's. There is much music I missed as a kid. I went to college at NTSU in Denton. There we had FM rock. KZEW was my favorite station. The Zoo! Still, I always wonder what I have missed. Please keep your Tonight's Vinyl Selection posts coming. I love them!

I'm so flattered that you are interested in reading my musings!

I amassed a good sized collection of albums in my high school and college years, so that's the time period most of my stuff is from. I kinda forgot the vinyl once CDs and streaming came around, and just recently decided to take a walk down memory lane and dig out my records and look at what I used to listen to. It's amazing how the songs and words all come back to you and remind you of the time period in which they were recorded. I can't imagine not having a rock station to listen to until the 1980's, I was one of those kids who had a little transistor radio when I was in grade school and thought I was super cool listening to the Cleveland rock n roll stations!
Thank you for such a nice post!
