{"product_id":"bruce-springsteen-the-river-cd","title":"Bruce Springsteen - The River [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDigitally remastered edition. The River is the fifth studio album, and the first double album by Bruce Springsteen. The album was released on October 17, 1980. Rolling Stone ranked it at number 253 on their list of the greatest albums of all time. The sources of The River go back into earlier parts of Springsteen's recording career. \"Independence Day\", \"Point Blank\", \"The Ties That Bind\", \"Ramrod\", and \"Sherry Darling\" were leftovers from his previous album, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and had been featured on that 1978 tour, as had parts of \"Drive All Night\" as a long interpolation within \"Backstreets.\" \"The River\" had premiered at the September 1979 Musicians United for Safe Energy concerts, gaining a featured spot in the subsequent documentary No Nukes. Originally, the album was to be a single set entitled The Ties That Bind and released in late 1979. Springsteen added darker material after he'd written the title track. Indeed, The River became noted for it's mix of the frivolous next to the solemn. This was intentional, and in contrast to Darkness, for as Springsteen said during an interview, \"Rock and roll has always been this joy, this certain happiness that is in it's way the most beautiful thing in life. But rock is also about hardness and coldness and being alone... I finally got to the place where I realized life had paradoxes, a lot of them, and you've got to live with them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ties That Bind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSherry Darling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJackson Cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Hearts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependence Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHungry Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut in the Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrush on You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can Look (But You Better Not Touch) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Marry You 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe River 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint Blank 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCadilac Ranch 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm a Rocker 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFade Away 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStolen Car 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamrod 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Price You Pay 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive All Night 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWreck on the Highway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 888750987723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sony Legacy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.16.15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53234554699936,"sku":"888750987723","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/2886671.jpg?v=1770365517","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/bruce-springsteen-the-river-cd","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
