The Ties That Bind: Bruce Springsteen A to Z
von Gary Graff
Im April 2005 erscheint ein neues (englischsprachiges) Buch über Bruce Springsteen. Ab Juni gibts das Buch dann auch in Deutschland.
Edited by veteran rock critic and Backstreets Magazine contributor Gary Graff, The Ties That Bind is a hefty, encyclopedic examination of the people, places, events, and recordings significant in the artistry and career of Bruce Springsteen. Ranging from the Academy Awards to Warren Zevon and all points in between (including the mighty E Street Band), the encyclopedia examines all aspects of the Springsteen universe: influences and the influenced, significant others, career evolution, recordings, side ventures, political forays, geographic bases, and of course, legendary shows and venues.
This is the first and only encyclopedic chronicling of Springsteen's life and music, with 300 entries from A to Z (plus sidebars) and 100 photos (many previously unpublished). Plus, The Ties That Bind provides nearly 100 extra pages of appendix material: lists of concert appearances, television appearances, tribute bands and tribute albums, the text of Springsteen's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame speeches, and more.
In addition to Graff, among those penning entries are Backstreets writers Chris Phillips, Erik Flannigan, Robert Bader, Jonathan Pont, and Robert Santelli, plus other journalists including Steve Knopper, Dan Durchholz, and Jeffrey Zaslow. Damon Gough (of Badly Drawn Boy) and Mike Mills (of R.E.M.) each contribute forewords. From Visible Ink Press. Softbound, 100 photographs, 592 pages.
