...protagonist, in fact, is really the land itself, and Washington State will never have a more loving chronicler than Guterson, a lifelong Seattleite who names every tree and evokes, with arresting grandeur, the sound of a coyote's distant howl, or a boy's delight in rivers and horses.

Sure, he has faltered at times and made music that seemed overly domesticated, but Tracks vigorously documents Springsteen's struggle to stay committed to his core subject: the postindustrial howl of Everyman. The years haven't muffled that roar...
