What is the name of Bruce Springsteen's 1982 acoustic album?

Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 acoustic album is “Nebraska.”

“Nebraska” is Springsteen’s sixth studio album and one of the starkest records in his catalog. He recorded the songs largely by himself on a four-track recorder at his home in Colts Neck, New Jersey, using sparse arrangements built around voice, acoustic guitar, harmonica, and occasional additional instruments.

The recordings began as demos intended for possible re-recording with the E Street Band. Springsteen and the band attempted fuller versions, but the raw home recordings retained a haunting intimacy that the electric arrangements could not reproduce. He ultimately released the demos themselves, creating an unusually bare album for a major rock star.

The album was issued by Columbia Records on September 30, 1982. Its dark stories of criminals, alienated workers, violence, and difficult choices are very different from the celebratory sound many listeners associate with Springsteen’s later hit “Born in the U.S.A.”
