Nebraska (album)
''Nebraska'' is the sixth studio album, and the first acoustic album by Bruce Springsteen. The album was released on September 30, 1982, by Columbia Records.
Sparsely-recorded on a cassette-tape Portastudio, the tracks on ''Nebraska'' were originally intended as demos of songs to be recorded with the E Street Band. However, Springsteen ultimately decided to release the demos himself. ''Nebraska'' remains one of the most highly regarded albums in his catalogue. The songs on ''Nebraska'' both deal with ordinary, blue collar characters who face a challenge or a turning point in their lives, but also outsiders, criminals and mass murderers, who have little hope for the future - or no future at all, as in the title track, where the main character is sentenced to death in the electric chair. Unlike his previous albums, very little salvation and grace is present within the songs. The album's uncompromising sound and mood, combined with its dark lyrical content has been described by a music critic as "one of the most challenging albums ever released by a major star on a major record label."〔
==Background==
Initially, Springsteen recorded demos for the album at his home with a 4-track cassette recorder. The demos were sparse, using only acoustic guitar, electric guitar (on "Open All Night"), harmonica, mandolin, glockenspiel, tambourine, organ, synthesizer (on "My Father's House") and Springsteen's voice.〔 Springsteen then recorded the album in a studio with the E Street Band.〔 However, he and the producers and engineers working with him felt that a raw, haunted folk essence present on the home tapes was lacking in the band treatments, and so they ultimately decided to release the demo version as the final album.〔 Complications with mastering of the tapes ensued because of low recording volume, but the problem was overcome with sophisticated noise reduction techniques.〔
Springsteen fans have long speculated whether Springsteen's full-band recording of the album, nicknamed ''Electric Nebraska'', will ever surface.〔 In a 2006 interview, manager Jon Landau said it was unlikely and that "the right version of ''Nebraska'' came out".〔(The Rock Radio: Springsteen looking at archival releases ) 〕 But in a 2010 interview with ''Rolling Stone'', E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg praised the full band recording of the album as "killing." Other songs demoed during the ''Nebraska'' sessions include "Born in the U.S.A.", "Downbound Train", "Child Bride" (which later evolved into "Working on the Highway"), "Pink Cadillac", "The Big Payback", "Johnny Bye Bye", and "Losin' Kind".〔
