Danny Clinch, harmonica player and the greatest rock photographer of the past 25 years, joins me to talk about the debut album of his idol and frequent collaborator Bruce Springsteen - 'Greetings from Ashbury Park NJ'. Danny talks about the parallels between his NJ upbringing and the characters on the album, why Springsteen's managers have also produced his records, the album's youthful energy, how he went from Bruce fan to his go-to photographer, jamming with the Boss on stage, introducing Bruce and Jason Isbell and how he manages to capture so many intimate, iconic moments with Springsteen and other legendary artists.My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music.
