Album Notes & Community Reviews

The highly respected American songwriter and producer assembled an incredible backing band鈥攊ncluding Pete Townshend and Mick Ronson鈥攆or his third solo release. 'Proof Through the Night' addresses the bleak social realities of Reagan-era America through sharp, Dylan-esque heartland rock and introspective lyricism. The critically acclaimed, slightly cynical record solidified his reputation as a profound, intellectual voice in the roots rock landscape.
