"I love Bruce Springsteen. My younger sister introduced me to his music when she was a teenager. I had first heard from others, that his music was boring, trite and over done. I was listening to Mott the Hoople, Quicksilver and Humble Pie and I had it all going on. My friends did not care for Springsteen and still most of them do not.



I saw him in concert in 1984 in Worcester, Ma and I cried almost all night..It was soooooooooooo wonderful. My sister and I, were hoarse for 3 days afterwards. Every song, he played for us. Every move, he made on stage..was for us.



I have not seen him perform recently, but would if the chance came about.



I love this album, I love all his albums. I love him with and without his band and with and without Patti.



He is a great artist and a great musician. I want to thank Mr. Springsteen for being there when I needed him and my sister for making the whole thing possible, in the first place.

"Chimes of Freedom is a great addition to any Springsteen fan's collection! The six plus minute version of "Tougher Than The Rest" is the real treat of the album, and the title track "Chimes of Freedom" is a great cover of the original Bob Dylan hit. Chimes of Freedom isn't just a free for all music album, it's classic Springsteen - reminding listeners of a bigger issue. Amnesty International and Human Rights Now! were to benefit from the release of this album. It's The Boss at his best - the album's worth every penny."

Solid but Unspectacular Effort from the Boss

""Chimes of Freedom" holds an odd place in the Springsteen lexicon. Larger than a single but smaller than an album when first released, it holds up much better in this age of CD singles with 4 songs on them. Springsteen does a good enough job on "Chimes of Freedom" and his upbeat "Be True" is a pleasant surprise. The album also has two mellow cuts-"Tougher than the Rest" and a slow and acoustic version of "Born to Run" which is quite different from the original version. While aficionados of the Boss will enjoy this album, I suspect its appeal will be limited outside that circle. Be sure to pay a decent price for it since this is not a full album."
