This frank and revealing documentary will give listeners a unique insight into the life of one of music’s
greats, providing them with an intimate understanding of the determination and dedication that has made
Bruce Springsteen one the most captivating storytellers of his generation.

Beginning five decades ago when his mother bought him an 18-dollar guitar and he began playing for small
audiences at a trailer park on New Jersey's Route 34, Bruce tells his story and explains the factors in
his life that have provided inspiration for some of the most acclaimed songs of his extensive career.

The two-part documentary will feature Bruce explaining the soundtrack of his life from the early impact of
Doo-wop that emanated from the family radio in the 1950s, to the thrill of Elvis's Rockabilly rebellion,
Dylan's evocative and potent new language, soul music's deep spiritual connection and punk's raucous power.

He talks about the purity and beauty of some of the legends of American country and folk music, like Hank
Williams and Woody Guthrie. Bruce learned all he could about the legendary artists who inspired him, studying
their techniques and diligently mastering the art of crafting a cinematic pop song. In the programme he gives
an insight into the inspiration behind some of his greatest hits, including Thunder Road and Born To Run.
