About this product
Digitally remastered edition. The River is the fifth studio album, and the first double album by Bruce Springsteen. The album was released on October 17, 1980. Rolling Stone ranked it at number 253 on their list of the greatest albums of all time. The sources of The River go back into earlier parts of Springsteen's recording career. InchIndependence DayInch, InchPoint BlankInch, InchThe Ties That BindInch, InchRamrodInch, and InchSherry DarlingInch were leftovers from his previous album, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and had been featured on that 1978 tour, as had parts of InchDrive All NightInch as a long interpolation within InchBackstreets.Inch InchThe RiverInch had premiered at the September 1979 Musicians United for Safe Energy concerts, gaining a featured spot in the subsequent documentary No Nukes. Originally, the album was to be a single set entitled The Ties That Bind and released in late 1979. Springsteen added darker material after he'd written the title track. Indeed, The River became noted for it's mix of the frivolous next to the solemn. This was intentional, and in contrast to Darkness, for as Springsteen said during an interview, InchRock and roll has always been this joy, this certain happiness that is in it's way the most beautiful thing in life. But rock is also about hardness and coldness and being alone... I finally got to the place where I realized life had paradoxes, a lot of them, and you've got to live with them.Inch

![Alvino Rey - Collection 1940-50 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/e8113a50-114f-453b-8d1f-84d91885510d.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Born Alvin McBurney in California in 1908, guitarist Alvino Rey played with the orchestras of Ev Jones and Phil Spitalny during the 1930s, changing his name to take advantage of the popularity of Latin music in New York, where he was working. He came to prominence playing pedal steel guitar with Horace Heidt's Musical Knights in the late' 30s, and having married Louise King of The King Sisters, launched his own band in 1939 with The King Sisters providing vocals. Based at radio KHJ in Hollywood, he recorded for Bluebird and had his first hit in 1941. This great-value 50-track 2-CD set comprising selected A & B sides from his releases on the Bluebird, RCA-Victor and Capitol labels from this era, including performances featuring The King Sisters, or individual members of the group, on vocals. Features all his nine career chart entries, including the No. 2 I Said No, the No. 3 hits Deep In The Heart Of Texas and Near You, and the top 10 hits Strip Polka, Cement Mixer (Put-Ti, Put-Ti) and I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover. Many of the recordings naturally provide a showcase for different aspects of his virtuoso skill as a guitarist, but they also range across the spectrum of Latin, middle-of-the-road, big band and novelty pop, offering a rather different slant on the pop music of the 1940s from that typified by the mainstream sweet orchestras of the era.
