Review of 'E Street shuffle' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Disappointing. I've read & enjoyed other books by Heylin, but this one was rough.

Far too much time is spent on BS's contractual wrangling in the 70s and documenting the evolution of various songs.

Heylin's writing only sings when he's given an opportunity to critique the writing of other critics as they write about Springsteen. There you can see the fun snarky book that might have been.
