... That's Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. It's the first track on his 1982 album by the same name.

When Springsteen released the album, fans didn't know what to make of it. It sounded so different from the boss's earlier work.

But as the years have passed, the music world has come to appreciate its introspective and personal nature.

And the story of the album's creation is one most wouldn't expect from an American music icon,

which makes a new biopic telling that story so unique.

Springsteen, Deliver Me From Nowhere, stars Jeremy Allen White, and it doesn't try to encompass the rock star's whole life

and legacy. Instead, it finds Bruce in 1981 just off touring his fifth album. He should be on top of

the world. He rents a house all to himself in New Jersey and turns his

focus inward to reckon with his past before writing an album that will go down in music history.

How well does the movie work? How does it measure up compared to other musician biopics? What did

Springsteen himself think about it? We get into it after the break. I'm Jen White.
