Born to Run —en español: Nacido para correr— es el tercer álbum de estudio del músico estadounidense Bruce Springsteen, publicado por la compañía discográfica Columbia Records en agosto de 1975. Su grabación tuvo lugar en los estudios de sonido Record Plant de la ciudad de Nueva York entre 1974 y 1975 bajo la producción de Mike Appel, Jon Landau y el propio Springsteen. Fue publicado por la discográfica Columbia Records el 25 de agosto de 1975.

El álbum se caracteriza por el uso de introducciones generalmente instrumentales en cada canción. Tuvo un gran recibimiento por parte del público, llegando al número tres en el Billboard 200 y alcanzó de igual forma altos lugares en el resto del mundo. De la producción se desprendieron los sencillos «Born to Run» y «Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out», aunque en las radios orientadas a música rock también podían escucharse "Thunder Road" y "Jungleland."

Su recepción por la crítica fue muy buena, considerándolo como el mejor trabajo de Springsteen y uno de los más importantes de la historia del rock. En el 2003 la revista Rolling Stone lo colocó en el n.º 18 en su lista de los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos. En el 2004 un jurado compuesto por expertos en preservación de música y sonido de los Estados Unidos la anexó en el Registro Nacional de Grabaciones de la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos debido a su "significancia cultural o histórica" en la vida norteamericana. El 14 de noviembre de 2005 se puso en circulación la edición de "30o Aniversario" que incluye una versión remasterizada del disco y dos DVD, uno conteniendo un filme de la producción de Born to Run y otro con un concierto.

User Album Review
Born To Run’s eight songs run to less than 40 minutes in length, but comprise a whole as satisfying as a portion of exquisitely rich chocolate cake. It seems Springsteen truly went for broke in 1975 after his first two albums had been critically well-received but less so commercially. Music critic Jon Landau became his producer and joined Bruce with his E-Street band in the studio to make what remains a classic, honest musical expression of hope, dreams and survival.

The colossal wall of sound production would make Phil Spector proud. Clarence Clemons’ triumphant yet bittersweet saxophone wailing and Roy Bittan’s nagging piano riffs augment the tough Telecaster guitar sound, while chiming glockenspiel and Max Weinberg’s drumming cement the heady mix.

Lyrically, it’s a dramatic collection of blue-collar tales of love and making ends meet that could only come from New Jersey’s favourite son. He clearly took a few ideas from storytellers like Van Morrison and Bob Dylan but also forged his own uplifting style. In ''Meeting Across The River'', a street tale Lou Reed would be proud of, listeners can ponder on a great deluded hustler’s line: 'That two grand’s practically sitting here in my pocket.' ''Thunder Road'' meanwhile, is almost effortlessly cinematic. In two lines there’s imagery more striking than most songwriters can manage on a whole album: 'In the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets… Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet.' On the excellent title track familiar BS motifs are returned to, particularly running away and the allure of fast cars, 'Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected and stepping out over the line…We gotta get out while we’re young.' Few tunesmiths can make a bad situation sound so good.

Like Ry Cooder, over a lengthy career the working-class NJ hero has proved himself to be a remarkably versatile operator. He’s taken on rootsy American folk material, written about 9/11 and, of course, had gargantuan commercial success with Born In The USA. Contemporary bands are never slow in praising him and his influence is still keenly felt. In songwriting terms alone Arcade Fire, REM and Mercury Rev have all clearly borrowed his ideas down the years and it’s unlikely they’ll be the last.
