Tunnel of Love is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on October 9, 1987. Although members of the E Street Band occasionally performed on the album, Springsteen recorded most of the parts himself, often with drum machines and synthesizers. While the album`s liner notes list the E Street Band members under that name, Shore Fire Media, Springsteen`s public relations firm, does not count it as an E Street Band album[2] and 2002`s The Rising was advertised as his first studio album with the E Street Band since Born in the USA. The album won Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo at the 1988 Grammy Awards.

In 1989, the album was ranked #25 on Rolling Stone magazine`s list of the `100 Best Albums of the Eighties`[3] while in 2012, Rolling Stone ranked it at #467 on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[4] `Brilliant Disguise`, `Tunnel of Love`, `One Step Up`, `Tougher Than the Rest`, and `Spare Parts` were all released as singles.

Background
The New York Times writer Jon Pareles said that Springsteen `turned inward` on this album, writing about `love gone wrong` in response to changes in his personal life, especially his crumbling marriage to Julianne Phillips, and his decision to leave the E Street Band.[5] Pareles said that most of the songs on the album were about the difficulty of mature love rather than Springsteen`s earlier arena rock anthems to the working man. Tunnel of Love songs were described as `midtempo ballads or pop-rock hymns`.[6] `Brilliant Disguise` has been called `a heart-wrenching song about never being really able to know someone`.[7]

On the B-sides of vinyl and cassette singles, outtakes like `Lucky Man`, `Two for the Road` and a 1979 track, `Roulette` were included. On the EP that accompanied the 1988 tour, Springsteen included album cut `Tougher Than the Rest`, but included another River outtake, `Be True` a rearranged, acoustic `Born To Run`, and a cover of Bob Dylan`s `Chimes of Freedom`.

Commercially the album went triple Platinum in the US, with `Brilliant Disguise` being one of his biggest hit singles, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, `Tunnel of Love` also making the top 10, reaching #9, and `One Step Up` reaching the top 20 at #13.[8] The 1988 Springsteen and E Street Band Tunnel of Love Express tour would showcase the album`s songs, sometimes in arrangements courtesy of the Miami Horns.[9]

Amusement park tunnel of love memorabilia was provided by the National Amusement Park Historical Association to be used on the record sleeve of the Tunnel of Love single.[10] A cover of `All That Heaven Will Allow` was a minor hit single for country band the Mavericks in 1995.[11]
