DETROIT, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Bruce Springsteen launches his summer tour on April 25th in Detroit, Michigan. The same day Visible Ink Press (Detroit) will publish THE TIES THAT BIND: Bruce Springsteen A to E to Z, by music journalist Gary Graff to kick off this event.

Three decades after Born to Run, Springsteen continues to add to his reputation as one of the most accomplished and acclaimed singer/songwriters ever. THE TIES THAT BIND tells exactly why. It's a 600-page encyclopedic examination of the people, places, events, and recordings significant in the artistry and thirty-plus years career of the rock icon.

Ranging from the Academy Awards ("A") to Warren Zevon ("Z") and all points in between, the book examines everything Bruce. The Springsteen universe is all here including the artistic, intellectual and personal relationships, influences and the influenced, significant others, career evolution, side ventures, political forays, legendary shows and more. It also has a lot of cool, and never before revealed Springsteen trivia.

This is the first and only book to take a systematic approach to objectively chronicling Springsteen's life and music. Like a hard-charging Springsteen show (he hates being called "The Boss") the book ain't over after the main set. Rockin' on, it catalogs and compiles, providing lists of concert and TV appearances, the text of Springsteen's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame speeches, a lyric index and more.

It's a "must have" for all Springsteen fans.
