“Drive All Night” by Bruce Springsteen

"Drive All Night" belongs to The River, the double album Bruce Springsteen released on Columbia in October 1980, his fifth studio record and his bid to get the E Street Band's live sound down on tape. He wrote it alone and sings it, playing piano, harmonica, electric and 12-string guitar, while Roy Bittan adds piano and organ, Danny Federici more organ, Little Steven acoustic and electric guitar, Garry Tallent bass, Max Weinberg drums and Clarence Clemons saxophone and percussion. Bittan, Clemons and Little Steven sing backup.

Springsteen produced it with his manager, Jon Landau, and Little Steven; Jimmy Iovine and Neil Dorfsman recorded it, and Chuck Plotkin and Toby Scott mixed. It came out of marathon New York City sessions that ran 18 months and yielded more than 50 songs.
