One of the first things you notice about Bruce Springsteen's
fifth album, The River, is the enigmatic back cover photo of
paper dolls in a marriage ceremony set up before a background
of an American eagle and flag and some -product called
"Glow-Glitter."' The cover is fitting for this album, 18 months
in the making, which seemed to baffle even Springsteen in his
efforts to finish it. But if any album was ever worth the wait,
this is it.
The River comes closer than any of Springsteen's previous
albums to capturing the power he has in concert he is one of
the most dynamic performers in rock 'n' roll.
Springsteen's vision of rock is twofold rock is a source of
infinite joy but also a means to deal with the daily struggles
that threaten us;. This comes out in his live shows, but the
vision is too complex to be fitted into a single album. Thus The
River is a double album.
Complaints have been made that The
River needs editing and that there are a
few songs that simply don't belong on
the album. Of course, there isn't a
double album in rock history, not even
The Beatles White Album, that doesn't have some weak
points. But The River includes enough strong material on sides
three and four to complement the powerful opening two sides
to justify the two album set.
Unlike Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town,
which were unified thematically, the songs on The River are
connected only in the most peripheral sense. They can best be
divided into three groups.
I. The Sons of Escape. These songs closely resemble those
on the previous two albums, but there are some important
differences. Gone is the teen-age innocence of Born to Run
and the triumphant tone of Darkness. Escape this time around
comes much harder, if at all. On "Jackson Cage," "Point
Blank" and "The Ties That Bind," the characters are destined
to imprisonment in their environment to suffer the worst
possible fate of wasting away. On "Stolen Car" and "Wreck
on the Highway," the ear, the quintessential Springsteen
symbol of control, is reversed to become the vehicle of
destruction.
The imagery stands out on these songs and sets a tone of a
cold and aloof world with few sanctuaries. In the title track, a
young man finds escape from the overbearing responsibilities
of a premature marriage and poverty with the allegorical
cleansing of the river, but unlike Springsteen's earlier albums,
this only provides a temporary resolution.
2. The rockers. In the grand tradition of "Rosalita,"
Springsteen and the E Street Band let loose on these tunes with
a gusto that captures the essense of rock 'n' roll vitality. When
Springsteen completed the first recording of The River last
November, it was a single album consisting mostly of stark
dramas. He was dissatisfied and went back into the studios
and added some old-fashioned rock 'n' roll songs to give the
album a more upbeat tone.
The lyrics of Springsteen's rockers are just above the inane,
but what counts is the passion expressed. The purity of joy on
songs like "Sherry Darling," "Crush On You" and "I'm a
Rocker" is so exciting that it is impossible to listen to triern
sitting down.
These rockers are teen anthems -with roots deep in the
rockabilly music of Buddy Holly and
Eddie Cochran. In contrast to the other
g songs, the situations are often comic and
the sole objective is the pursuit of fun.
These are kind of songs that rock, in its
advanced age, is forgetting, but Springsteen, since Born to
Run, has revived.
3. The Ballads. Springsteen has a mellow side, too. On "I
Wanna Marry You" and "Fade Away," the E Street Band
slows down and Springsteen's voice swoons to a tenderness
that has made him in many ways the most romantic American
singer since Al Green. What makes his ballards a cut above the
usual fare of sentimental melodrama is that he portrays love
not as a worthwhile thing, but as the only thing. On "Drive All
Night," his rough vocals come from an emotional level so
deep that it is almost akin to suicide.
What really makes The River click is the E Street Band.
Where the album is weak, as on "Ramrod" and "The Price
You Pay," the band is too slick to convey the tension of the
lyrics.
Springsteen's guitar solos are quick but intense, and he even
makes a viable instrument out of the harmonica. Several
instrumental stand out Danny Federici's haunting organ on
"Point Blank," Steve Van Zandt's guitar on "Crush on You"
and Clarence Clemons' saxophone throughout but the
overall group sound is what really impresses.
Avoid hot rod starts.
