Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Frederick Joseph Marty Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He has frequently recorded and toured with The E Street Band. Springsteen is most widely known for his brand of heartland rock, rock and roll infused with Americana sentiments. His eloquence in expressing ordinary, every-day problems has earned him a huge fan base. His most famous albums, Born to Run and Born in the USA, epitomize his penchant for writing about the struggles of a young man growing up in the streets of New Jersey. Comparisons are inevitably made between him and Bob Dylan http://home.theboots.net/theboots/articles/bangs_btr_review.html because of his folk rock roots. Springsteen, however has become popular in his own right because of the appeal of his songs.
