Publisher's note

Bruce Springsteen: Two Hearts is the definitive biography of one of the most important songwriters and performers of the last three decades. Critic Dave Marsh has traced Springsteen's career from its beginning, and has earned the singer's respect through his careful documentation and critical description of Springsteen's work. This biography brings together for the first time Marsh's two previous biographies, Born To Run (which covered Springsteen's early career through the mid-'70s) and Glory Days (which took him through the mid-'80s). Both were widely praised for their insightful and near definitive coverage of Springsteen's life and music. For this book, Marsh has written a new chapter covering major developments in Springsteen's career to today, particularly focusing on his album The Rising and its impact on American culture.
Until Springsteen writes his autobiography, this book will stand as the best single introduction to a major force in American culture.

Annotation

The authoritative and meticulously researched TWO HEARTS, an amalgamation and expansion of Dave Marsh's previous Springsteen biographies BORN TO RUN and GLORY DAYS, portrays the rise of the Jersey singer and his cohorts from scuffling Jersey bar band to international rock & roll phenomenon as an arduous journey with plenty of setbacks, including initial disinterest from his record label and Springsteen's own perfectionism about recording. But nothing can stop the Springsteen rock & roll juggernaut, which seems to consistently crush every obstacle in its path, from recalcitrant promoters to Canadian singer Anne Murray, who lives to regret insisting on headlining an early New York Springsteen date. Marsh takes us inside Springsteen recording sessions, behind the gestation (and frequent subsequent misinterpretation) of momentous songs like "Born in the U.S.A." and "Dancing in the Dark," and analyzes the complex interpersonal relationships between Springsteen and those closest to him. He doesn't neglect the live shows either, with atmosphere-heavy depictions of onstage performances and backstage ambience. TWO HEARTS is an obvious labor of love on the part of its author, benefiting both from cooperation from all the major participants and from Marsh's close critical reading of his subject's career and work.
