Bruce Springsteen

Capturing the Soul of 'Darkness on the Edge of Town'

“Bruce Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town broke new ground for The Boss in 1978. A counterpoint to the operatic elegance of Born to Run, the album was an angry, raw record that burst forth after a three-year hiatus. PJay captured the energy and passion of this iconic tour with his black and white Darkness images.”
