What Came Next...Bruce Springsteen "Darkness on the Edge of Town"

from Face the Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast (And Other Shows) · host Radiotrola Entertainment/Assorted Deli Meats Amalgamated

Born to Run made Bruce Springsteen a star, but he had a major problem with manager and producer Mike Appel. Appel wanted to control how Springsteen's career went while the Boss thought he should definitely be the boss. It came to legal blows, delaying the recording and release of a new album for three years. When Darkness on the Edge of Town was released in 1978 it had a darker tone than its predecessors and a more focused lyrical style. At first a critical and commercial disappointment, it is now considered one of his best albums.
