Released on September 30, 1982, Bruce Springsteen's sixth studio album, Nebraska, came in a stark sleeve, dominated by David
Michael Kennedy's black-and-white photograph of a perfectly flat highway stretching down a barren wintertime plain. Other artists were inspired by the work; generations of subsequent musicians, ranging from Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello to pop country singer Kelly Clarkson, cited Nebraska as a crucial influence on their careers.
Bruce Springsteen, writing about Nebraska in his 2016 autobiography, seemed uniquely untouched by the album. It sold respectably, he recalled, got good reviews and next to no airing on the radio. He concludes with a "Reason to Believe"-esque shrug. "Life went on."
Oh boy, did it ever. Springsteen's next album, Born in the U.S.A., sold more than 20 million copies and made him one of the most popular musicians in the history of rock 'n' roll. Some of its songs were first aired on the tape that became Nebraska. For years, he'd doubted his ability, and desire, to pursue that level of fame. But in the wake of his journey through the dark of Nebraska, he felt ready to face down the spotlight. "At that point, I got there and I was that guy," he said in 2012. "You can kid yourself that you're not, but then what have you been doing? You're curious about the power of your music."
Forty years later, the power of Nebraska is undiminished.
