UBruce Springsteen malunga ne-1975. (Ifoto: UBarbara Pyle / Reel Art Press, ovela UBruce Springsteen kunye ne-E Street Band ngo-1975: Iifoto zikaBarbara Pyle ) Njenge-albhamu, yayingengombulo. Ngokungafaniyo nomanduleli wayo, khange ivakalise isimbo sokubhalwa kwengoma esingazange senziwe ngaphambili ukuba abalandeli bomculo bafumanise ukuba banamabhongo ngokungakholelekiyo, abanengcwangu, abanomsindo, abanomsindo. Akukho mazwi ebevakala ngathi u-Chuck Berry ebesebenzisana ngokufihlakeleyo noJack Kerouac. Kwaye jeez, ungayikhangela yonke irekhodi kwaye kunganzima ukuba ufumane isalathiso kwisitrato, umgxobhozo okanye umvumisi owaziwayo ovela kwiNew Jersey yegcisa lomculi.
'Umhla wokukhutshwa ungowokugqibela. Ingxelo yona yeyonaphakade .'— UBruce Springsteen
Nokuba kunjalo, kwiminyaka engama-40 eyadlulayo, UBruce Springsteen kukhutshwa Uzalelwe ukubaleka . Yeyiphi, xa kuthethwa ngokudibeneyo, yayilelona gcisa likhazimlayo, kodwa lithengisa kakhulu lithuba lokugqibela lokugqobhoza ukuya kubaphulaphuli besizwe. Okumangalisayo kukuba. Kubaguqulweyo, nangona kunjalo, izinto bezinzima ngakumbi. Kusithathile ixesha ukuba siqhele isandi esicocekileyo, ngakumbi iingoma eziqhelekileyo, imigca eyenza ingqiqo. Kodwa size ngeenxa zonke. Kwaye ngokuhamba kwexesha, ngaphandle kokukhwazwa ngamanye amaxesha, saqonda ukuba le yayiyinto enye yobugcisa. Nokuba bekungakhange kubonakale ngathi ngumsebenzi waloo mntu uphambeneyo, umntu onamagama esingawela ngaye ngo-1973.
Ibali lethu liqala, ngokufanelekileyo ngokwaneleyo, ngala ngoma yesihloko. Yeyiphi, xa wawusiva okokuqala, yayimangalisa nje.
Ngandlel 'ithile, uSpringsteen, oneealbham ezimbini zokuqala ezazingumnyhadala, zilingo, zihlala zingonwabisi, wakwazi ukuthatha isipho sakhe esigqwesileyo kulwimi, uthando lwakhe ngoRoy Orbison, amaqela amantombazana, uBob Dylan, uDuane Eddy kwaye wazibilisa zonke ezi zinto rocking, hooky song. Umntu ongatshatanga-uhlobo. Wanciphisa ukusebenzisa iibhlorho ezininzi, walawula kwimibongo yakhe yasesitratweni ethandekayo kunye ne-baritone eccentric, emva koko wongeza ikhonkco elingacimekiyo kunye ne-compact, yeka ukubamba.

Kwakukho impembelelo entsha, ukuba indala, eyenze le ngoma-kunye ne-albhamu nayo. UMbonisi ogama lakhe linguPhil. Ngubani, obonisa ukuba ukhumbula, ngaphambi kokuba isimilo sakhe silungelelaniswe nesaphuli-mthetho, enze eyona orchestral, i-paeans yolutsha eqhumayo eRock naseRoll. Ukuze uBruce aqhubele phambili, ukuze akwazi ukwenza icwecwe eliza kuthengwa ngabantu, konke kwaqala ngomculo owaqala ukwenziwa ngaphezulu kweminyaka eli-10 ngaphambili. Umphathi kunye nomvelisi weSpringsteen, UMike Apple , lithatha ibali ngeli xesha.
'Sasiyazi ukuba senze into emangalisayo xa sisenza le albhamu. Kodwa iqale nyhani ngaphambi kokuba sibeke enye ingoma .'— UMike Appel
Sazi ukuba siza kwenza into emangalisayo xa sisenza le albhamu. Kodwa yaqala nyhani ngaphambi kokuba sibeke enye ingoma, utshilo uAppel, indoda ekrelekrele, ethetha msinya, eyayiyisuti yokuqala ukubona into kweli hlala, limsulwa, nelomntana. Xa abanye abaninzi-masijongane nayo-bamfumanisa ukuba unxilile ngegama. UBruce wayesandul 'ukugqiba ikonsathi eRichmond, eVa. Wayekwisitulo esingasemva emotweni. Wancika phezu kwesihlalo esingaphambili wathi, 'Mike, ndizama ukudibanisa amazwi am ngeengoma ezingakumbi zikaPhil Spector kwaye ndingathanda ukusebenzisa amaxabiso emveliso yakhe.' Kwaye ndathi, Kulungile, ndiyifumene. Emva koko wathi, 'Ngaba ikhona into oyaziyo malunga nokuxabiseka kwemveliso kaPhil Spector? Kwaye ndathi, 'Ewe, ndiyayenza.'
Iifowuni zamaqabane, UJim Cretecos (othe ngelixesha utsibe inqanawa i-Springsteen, kwaye, ngenxa yoko, mhlawumbi nangoku kwii-anti-depressants), wayebhalele umntwana igama lakhe URobin McNamara , ukusuka kumculo Iinwele. Ukubandakanyeka kwimveliso yale ngoma yayiyimbali UJeff Barry , owayenomfazi u-Ellie Greenwich, ababhale ii-Rock Anthems ezingenakubalwa. Ukubandakanya inani elincinci elinesihloko, Yiba lusana lwam.
Ngexesha lokurekhodwa kwale ngoma, ‘Ndibeke Uthando oluncinane Kum,’ UJimmy Cretecos wayebuze uJeff malunga nobuchule bemveliso kaPhil Spector. UJeff Barry uxelele uJimmy yonke into! , utsho uAppel. Kwaye uJimmy uxelele Mna! Yile ndlela ke yehlela ngayo kuBruce Springsteen.
Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba ingoma ye-epochal, Born To Run, yarekhodwa kwi-914 Studios, eBlauvelt, NY Kuthathe iinyanga ezintandathu zokurekhoda (ukuqala ngentwasahlobo yowe-1974) kunye nokubaleka okungenakubalwa kukaBruce, uMike no Ibhendi yesitalato i-E yokuqikelela udonga lwezandi oludumileyo loMdumisi (apho iimvumi ezininzi zazidlala khona ngoku, ngaxeshanye, zivumela izixhobo zazo ukuba ziphalaze igazi komnye nomnye, zisenza idinson engathandekiyo). Umntwana ovela eJersey kunye namahlakani akhe bakufezekisile oku bebodwa. Ngokugqithisa ngaphezulu. (Ifoto: Barbara Pyle / Reel Art Press, ukusuka UBruce Springsteen kunye ne-E Street Band ngo-1975: Iifoto zikaBarbara Pyle )
Ke ngoku, ngengoma eyodwa ye-Spectorian eyenziwe, uBruce, uMike kunye nomvelisi omtsha, UJon Landau , Bazifumana bekwindawo ekhuselekileyo. Kwinqanaba lokulahlwa yi-Columbia, ileyibhile ka-Springsteen, kunye nengoma ethi Born To Run yenziwe kunye namagama athile anobubele avela kwi-Rock press (kuquka uLandau ngokwakhe), bahamba bephantse balahlwa yileyibhile, ukuba bavunyelwe ukuba benze enye … Ngaphezulu… icwecwe. Kodwa ngoku kuye kwafuneka benze iingoma ezizezinye ezinokubetha zilingane nobuhle obufanayo noloo mbongo kwaye hlala kamnandi ecaleni kwayo.
'Le yenye yeengxelo ezinqabileyo apho unegcisa elibekelwe ukwenza iAlbum enkulu yaseMelika, kwaye ekugqibeleni, uyakufezekisa.'
Emva koko sathutha imisebenzi yethu sayisa kwiRekhodi yeZityalo eManhattan, utsho uAppel, sasisazi ukuba 'Sizalelwe Ukubaleka' njengemodeli yethu, into esifuna ukujolisa kuyo. Kodwa, emva koko sazibuza, ingaba yonke enye into izakuvakala njani? Kuza kufuneka ivakala ngokufana no-'Uzalelwe Ukubaleka. 'Sizakufuna iingoma ezinkulu ezinje' Jungleland, ’ ' Ukubuyela umva, ' ' Indlela yeNdudumo. ’ UBruce wabhala ezo ngoma zibalaseleyo. Kodwa kunye namatye amancinci amancinci afana ' Ukudibana ngaphaya koMlambo . ’
U-Record Plant, utshilo u-Appel, ngaphandle kokuphakama njengoonyana, naye wayenenye into, engalindelwanga eyenze ukuba uBruce motor agqibe i-albhamu yakhe.
Ngenxa yokuba le ndawo yayibiza kakhulu, utsho u-Appel, uBruce wayengenabo ubunewunewu awayenabo nge-914; Ukuthetha ngezinto ngokungapheliyo, ukuza nokuhamba xa eziva ethanda. Indawo yokuRekhoda ibibiza kakhulu, yamnika ibhutsi kwi-esile ayifunayo. Ngokukhawuleza, uBruce kwafuneka enze izigqibo ngokukhawuleza kunokuba wayeqhele ukwenza. Kodwa ukuba nguBruce, ngekhe angxanyiswe. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba i-CBS yayixhalabile kangakanani ukuba ayikhuphe i-albhamu, ngoku ngoku bathathe isigqibo sokuba unekamva, uBruce usafuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba irekhodi lilungile kangangoko ngaphambi kokuba aliyeke. Wathi ngaxesha lithile, into engalibalekiyo: 'Umhla wokukhutshwa ungxamisekileyo. Ingxelo ingunaphakade. ’ (Ifoto: Barbara Pyle / Reel Art Press, ukusuka UBruce Springsteen kunye ne-E Street Band ngo-1975: Iifoto zikaBarbara Pyle )
I-biographer yeRock kunye nomhleli we-fanzine we-Springsteen (we Ukubuyela umva -Ibhayibhile yazo zonke izinto uBruce), UCharles R. Umnqamlezo inentsusa yentsusa, nayo, kutheni Uzalelwe ukubaleka Ngaba icwecwe elikhulu ngokwenene. Bobabini kwikhondo likaSpringsteen nakwiMbali yeLitye. Ukufezekisile, utsho uMnqamlezo, into awayezimisele ukuyenza. Into enzima ngokungaqhelekanga nakweyiphi na into yobugcisa.
Ngo-1975, Uzalelwe ukubaleka yaba lithuba lokugqibela likaBruce Springsteen lokugqobhoza ukuya kubaphulaphuli belizwe. Okumangalisayo kukuba.
Isizathu Uzalelwe ukubaleka yirekhodi elibalulekileyo leRock, kungenxa yokuba lenziwe ngendlela eyahlukileyo kunabantu abenza iirekhodi ngoku, itsho irudite, ibandakanyeka kwiMnqamlezo. Lo mfo wayezama ukubhala irekhodi alibonileyo njengenxalenye ye-Canon enkulu yaseMelika. Wayezama ukwenza icwecwe elaliyiRock yintoni Ibali laseNtshona yayikukudlala. Wayezama ukudala ubugcisa obubalulekileyo. Phantse umntu akaze azimisele ukuba namabhongo. Kwaye, xa besenza, bayoyisakala nakanjani. Kuba kukho into malunga nolo luvo, ‘Ndifuna ukwenza into ebalulekileyo,’ ehlala ikususa kweso sakhono sokwenza ubugcisa. Le yenye yeerekhodi ezinqabileyo apho unegcisa elibekelwe ukwenza iAlbum enkulu yaseMelika, kwaye ekugqibeleni uyayiphumeza.
Obo buchule bokubiza ubuchwephesha, ubuchule bangaphambi kokuthimba iinyani zaseMelika ezivela kumoya ocekeceke, kungasathethwa ke ngokuziguqulela kwifom yomculo, kwaye ekugqibeleni, ukuzibeka phantsi kumthwebeba, konke kuguqulwe Uzalelwe ukubaleka kwialbham engaphezulu nje kwecwecwe elingaphelelwa lixesha — iye yaba yintsomi.
Uhlobo lweengoma kunye nemixholo awayeyibhala malunga nayo, ngakumbi, ibandakanya i-subst angst yokukhula kwidolophu yaseNew Jersey kwaye uzama ukwahlukana nelizwe laseMelika elalikunye nathi ukusukela kwixesha le-Eisenhower. Kwakukho umahluko omncinci malunga neli hlabathi, kunaleyo uBruce wakhulela kuyo. Iinqobo neengcinga ezazifunwa nguBruce ebomini zazingqubana kakhulu nezikwere-kunye neMelika ephambili. Into awayefuna ukubaleka kuyo. Isigqebelo? I-albhamu ngokwayo yaba yeyona albhamu iphambili yeAmerican Rock. (Ifoto: Barbara Pyle / Reel Art Press, ukusuka UBruce Springsteen kunye ne-E Street Band ngo-1975: Iifoto zikaBarbara Pyle )
Okokugqibela, kukho indoda edlale ezi ngoma amaxesha amaninzi ngaphandle komfana owazibhalayo. Lo mnumzana uya kuqikelelwa UNils Lofgren , Ngubani, ngokwakhe, igcisa elinamalungu afanayo angamanyala ezipho zomculo: umbhali weengoma ze-ace, umphathi-bhanyabhanya okrelekrele kunye nomfana odlala isiginkci egcwele umthwalo nobuchule bomphefumlo, olona qabane lakhe lokwenyani nguJimi Hendrix ongasekhoyo U-Lofgren, oneminyaka yakhe yokuqala wayichitha ebeka phambili iqela lakhe lolwaphulo-mthetho Intsini kwaye ekuncediseni nasekufumaneni umntu ogama linguNeil Young, ebelilungu leBruce Street E Street Band ukusukela ngo1984. Ubenexesha elininzi lokucinga ukuba kutheni Uzalelwe ukubaleka isavakala, kunye nabaphulaphuli, kunye naye.
' Uzalelwe ukubaleka yaba lelona cwecwe laziwayo laseMelika. '
Ekuqaleni, ndandithanda umxholo wayo weengoma kunye ne-angst ehamba nokuba mncinci, utshilo uLofgren. Kodwa njengoko ndandisiya ndingena kwi-albhamu, ndamangaliswa kukuvuthwa kwayo, iokhestra, izinto ezingaqhelekanga, eziphambili. Njengento esecaleni, kukho unkosikazi wam, u-Amy, owayeyindlala ye-West Orange 'iJersey Girl.' Wayethetha rhoqo Uzalelwe ukubaleka njengebhalbhu eyambonisa indlela entsha awayengacingi ukuba unayo. Yayiyirekhodi eyamnika inkalipho yokushiya iNew Jersey kwaye azifunele ubomi obungcono. I-albhamu yathi kuye, nabanye abaninzi, nokuba ungaqinisekanga okanye awukhuselekanga kangakanani, ungashiya kwaye ufumane into ebhetele.
U-Lofgren, othi ngobusuku obuthile, enze i-disc yonke, ngaphambili nangasemva, unombulelo omtsha ngerekhodi elincedileyo ukutshintsha imeko yaseMelika isiya kwi-Soft Rock kwaye, ngaphandle kokuqhayisa ngesandi esikhulu, ikwanceda abantu abalungele kungekudala din of Punk.
Emva kokuyimamela ngokwenene ngelo xesha, ubuhle kunye nobubanzi, ukuze ungene ngaphakathi kuyo kwaye uyidlale, ivuselele imbeko yam kwirekhodi uqobo. Kwaye uBruce, utsho uLofgren. Uhlala ekhankanya ukuba yayiziinyanga ezintandathu zokubhalwa kweengoma ngepensile kunye nencwadana yokubhala, ukuyiphindaphinda kwakhona, ukujonga ukudityaniswa kwamagama okugqibeleleyo. Lonke ixesha elichithwe kwisitudiyo, ukubhala ngokutsha kunye nokusebenza kulo, bekufanelekile ngokucacileyo. (Ifoto: Barbara Pyle / Reel Art Press, ukusuka UBruce Springsteen kunye ne-E Street Band ngo-1975: Iifoto zikaBarbara Pyle )
Kwinqaku le-visceral, uLofgren ugqiba uvavanyo ngokukubuyisela ekhaya konke azalelwe ukukwenza: kwaye oko kukudlala. Uneemvakalelo ezikhethekileyo malunga nokwenza iingoma ezimbini ngokukodwa ukusuka Uzalelwe ukubaleka . Zizo ezo ngoma zimbini zokugqibela ezivela kwi-Opera ka-Bruce Springsteen ngaphandle kwitranspike, ezisenolindelo lweLofgren kwaye ziphinde zibuyele kuye, kwanasemva kweminyaka.
Eyona nto ithi qatha engqondweni 'kukudibana ngaphesheya koMlambo' ungene 'eJungleland,' utsho, ethetha ngokuqhatha, njengendoda ebekwe phantsi komlingo kwaye ngokucacileyo ibuyisa amava abalulekileyo. Okokuqala, 'iJungleland' sesi siqwenga sikhulu kunye nenxalenye yam kuso zezi zinto zikhethiweyo zamandla, ezonwabisa kakhulu. Kodwa icandelo lamava kukuthula okuninzi, nako, ukumamela ubungangamsha. Nokuba ngaba [ngumlingane wasemva kwexesha] uClarence [Clemons ’] sax okanye abo baphambeneyo, bakudala, iinxalenye ze-virtuosic ezidlalwa [ngumdlali wepiyano] uRoy Bittan.
Ku'Ntlanganiso ngaphesheya koMlambo 'ndivele ndibuyele emva kwe-amp amp ndihlale phaya kwiriser. Ndivele nje ndabona indawo kunye nesandi, ndisazi ukuba ndinemizuzu emine yokuthatha yonke loo nto. Ke, njengoko 'iJungleland' iqala, kusekho ixesha elide ngaphambi kokuba ndibeke iStrat kwaye ndikwazi ukubetha ezo zinto zamandla, UClarence, ngelo xesha, wayemi ecaleni kwam. Sobabini siphuma ebumnyameni kwaye siyangxama ezo zixhobo zikhulu kwaye siqhubeke nengoma emnandi. Ke, olo tshintsho, ezo ziqwengana zintle zilapha, zithi qatha engqondweni. Ukubeka nje, ziyindlela entle kakhulu, ekuphela kwendlela, onokucinga ngayo uBruce, kunye nathi sonke, ophelisa i-albhamu entle Uzalelwe ukubaleka . Kwaye ndicinga ukuba wonke umntu okhe weva, uziva ngendlela efanayo.
Esi siqwenga sinikezelwe ku-Ellen Ross.
