Produced by Bruce Springsteen & Jon Landau. Album Darkness on the Edge of Town. Darkness on the Edge of Town Lyrics. Well they're still racing out at the Trestles But that blood it never burned in her veins Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview And a style she's trying to maintain Well, if she wants to see me You can tell her that I'm easily found Tell her there's a spot out 'neath. In this song, Bruce cuts to the core of contemporary American ennui and dissatisfaction that stems from systemic economic and cultural alienation. The darkness exists on two levels. One, at the edges of society, where the law ceases to care and men drift aimlessly. The darkness at the edge of town in this sense is personal as well–at the edges, around the seams of everyone there is a darkness being held at bay by the internal architecture they have built up in their lives.

In the area of production, Darkness on the Edge of Town is nothing less than a breakthrough. Springsteen - with coproducer Jon Landau, engineer Jimmy Iovine and Charles Plotkin, who helped Iovine mix the LP - is the first artist to fuse the spacious clarity of Los Angeles record making and the raw density of English productions. That’s the major reason why the result is so different from Born to Run‘s Phil Spector wall of sound. On the earlier album, for instance, the individual instruments were deliberately obscured to create the sense of one huge instrument. Here, the same power is achieved. Yet the dominant instrumental focus of Darkness on the Edge of Town is Bruce Springsteen’s guitar. Like his songwriting and singing, Springsteen’s guitar playing gains much of its distinctiveness through pastiche.

Darkness on the Edge of Town.

In 1975, Bruce Springsteen broke into the mainstream with his album, Born to Run. The album got him on the cover of Times and Newsweek magazines in the same week and even now, Born to Run is his second best-selling album (after Born in the USA ). Most fans and critics consider it to be his magnum opus. I disagree however, as much as I love Born to Run ; his 1978 follow-up Darkness on the Edge of Town is for me, his best album. It has some of his hardest rocking songs, and some of his most haunting ballads. Because of all this, Darkness on the Edge of Town remains as being one of the most passionate and emotional albums Bruce has ever released. Now let’s talk about the songs shall we". The album begins with the opening drumbeats of Badlands.

This is one impressive collection. Darkness On the Edge of Town was Bruce Springsteen’s fourth album, the follow-up to Born to Run, and, in many ways, it surpassed that classic with a stripped-down intensity that few, if any, in rock ‘n’ roll have been able to meet. There’s a video documentary of the making of the album that goes deep into the artistic process. There is the Thrill Hill Vault that includes band rehearsals at the farm in Holmdel, studio footage, and some brilliant live footage from Red Bank, NJ, 1976 and Phoenix in 1978. Finally, there’s the Houston concert from 1978 that shows exactly why Springsteen is considered to be one of the greatest live performers of all time.
