Recensioner i media

"A meticulous study of Springsteen’s officially released oeuvre, to date, with insightful input on each album and every song on each album. Perfect for Springsteen Studies 101." (Americana UK) “Bruce Songs looks at Springsteen’s entire canon of songs by examining each album’s historical context, discussing cover art and packaging, and offering analyses of individual songs along with excerpts from contemporary reviews and lists of musical and production personnel. Womack and Campbell combine the thoroughness of scholars with the enthusiasm of fans. The end result is a work that is knowledgeable, insightful, and pure fun.”- June Skinner Sawyers (author of We Take Care of Our Own: Faith, Class, and Politics in the Art of Bruce Springsteen) “Bruce Songs is a valuable addition to the ever-growing Springsteen library, an essential work for everyone from fans to music scholars.  Womack and Campbell make for a wonderful one-two punch, each giving informative and highly readable tidbits on the Springsteen catalogue that make you want to go back and listen to every song they write about.  Highly recommended.” - Bob Santelli (executive director, the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music)
