New subscriptions will begin with the Spring 2007 issue, Backstreets #86

From the pre-E Street days to Bruce's latest performances, this one has something for everybody. In this issue:

The recent tribute to Springsteen at Carnegie Hall gets the cover and 8 pages inside, with exclusive photos of Bruce's surprise appearance as he brought Rosie to the dance.
On the occasion of Robert Santelli's Greetings From E Street book, we had Backstreets founder Charles R. Cross sit down and talk E Street and Jersey Shore music with the author, who was there when the scene took off.
While we save our Seeger Sessions tour wrap-up for next ish, Matt Orel takes a detailed look at the band's studio sessions, breaking it all down for The Making of American Land.
A feature on Marah includes a Q&A with the band that recently rocked it with Bruce at Light of Day 7, as well as interviewer Roderick Jones' own tale of fandom (which any Springsteen fan will relate to, we'll wager, even if Marah ain't your thing).
Plus: John Howie, Jr. takes a gander at Live in Dublin; reports and photos from the Ranney School benefits, the P.A.L.S. holiday show, and other recent gigs; interviews with Nils Lofgren, Southside Johnny, and Joe Grushecky; more Boss books; remembering Big Danny Gallagher, Bill Chinnock, and Bobby Alfano; reviews of the latest CD-Rs and Bruce boots, and more. 68 pages, full-color.
