COMMENTS:
First
of
all,
this
is
perhaps
the
best
basic
blues
groove
the
boss
ever
worked
up.
Every
part
of
this
arrangement
has
its
own
logic
and
independent
value.
The
wailing
harmonica
gives
great
voice
to
both
the
despair
and
determination
of
the
heroine.
The
acoustic
guitar
is
playing
some
good
crisp
distinctive
rockin'
blues
shuffle.
I
usually
consider
Springsteen
to
have
one
of
the
lesser
bands
among
peers
on
his
level,
which
includes
particularly
Mellencamp,
Seger
and
Tom
Petty.
The
stiff,
clumsy
arrangement
of
this
album's
title
song
"Tunnel
of
Love"
is
the
only
thing
that
keeps
it
off
my
list.
With
the
pulse
of
the
drums
and
grooving
bass,
this
is
the
nearest
thing
to
a
classic
Rolling
Stones
sound
the
Boss
ever
got.
In
the
abbreviated
pulses
of
melody,
he
urgently
telegraphs
the
confusion
and
hurt
of
a
young
bride
to
be
who
suddenly
finds
herself
instead
to
be
a
single
mother,
and
how
it
matures
her
into
a
wiser
and
tougher
adult.
The
title
also
represents
Springsteen's
best
car
metaphor.
"Spare
parts
and
broken
hearts
keep
the
world
turning
around."
Hey
-
that's
a
good
one!
