THE ESSENTIAL BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN covers every phase of the Boss’s career, from the Dylan-inspired absurdist folk-rock of his 1973 debut, through the Brando-with-a-Telecaster pathos of DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN, to the Spectorian grandeur of BORN TO RUN and the stark, existential folk of NEBRASKA. And that’s just the first disc! The second goes on to document Springsteen’s superstar period with cuts from the epochal BORN IN THE USA and the moody, stripped-down TUNNEL OF LOVE, on through his post-9/11 mission statement, THE RISING.For hardcore fans that already own everything on the first two CDs, there’s a bonus disc of rarities–none of which appeared on the prolific songwriter’s rarities box set, TRACKS. The brightest spots of disc three are easily the equal of Springsteen’s best-known material. Bruce’s own version of «From Small Things» (covered successfully by Dave Edmunds), a furious live version of the working man’s lament «Held Up Without a Gun,» and the gorgeously evanescent «County Fair» are worth the price of admission all by themselves. True to its promise, this collection perfectly captures the essence of the gifted Jersey boy’s magic.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 – [T]his is as good a Springsteen ‘best of’ as you’re likely to get.
Mojo

4 stars out of 5 – When he gets quiet, gets home after crowded nights and faces solitary dawns, he’s an extraordinary artist with a spooky, magical gift.s
Uncut (20040101)

4 stars out of 5 – [I]ncontestably the heart of a mighty legacy.
Q (20040101)

…The collectible [third] CD…is [even] more rewarding than the ’98 outtakes box, TRACKS….disc 3 is as engaging a ride as any through Springsteen’s ’80s peaks, ’90s valleys, and current rebirth. – Rating: A-
