Rob Kirkpatrick's \u003ci\u003eMagic in the Night\u003c\/i\u003e uses Springsteen's biography as a lens through which listeners can reevaluate his music as he morphs from the next Bob Dylan to a Reagan-era pop culture icon, and again to today's populist voice, discussing each album in chronological order. Kirkpatrick's keen insights show why the classic 1975 album Born to Run is the most popular album of all time (according to a recent \u003ci\u003eZagatSurvey\u003c\/i\u003e) and what's made Springsteen the most respected and influential artist in rock music. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough his career has been widely documented, Springsteen fans have never had a book like this one, which lets them immerse themselves in his music and learn about his influences, lyrical choices, and the themes Springsteen has been drawn to again and again in his career. Kirkpatrick's in-depth analysis of Springsteen's work-even unreleased songs-and the political controversies surrounding it make \u003ci\u003eMagic in the Night\u003c\/i\u003e a must for any true Springsteen fan.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eROB KIRKPATRICK is the author of \u003ci\u003e1969: The Year Everything Changed\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCecil Travis of the Washington Senators: The War-Torn History of an All-Star Shortstop\u003c\/i\u003e, and he edited the multivolume \u003ci\u003eGreenwood Encyclopedia of Rock History\u003c\/i\u003e.
