BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN "the wild,the innocent and the e-street shuffle" cd,1973.
Bruce's second album from way back when....
the E-Street Band are his band on here but are uncredited on the sleeve unlike follow up albums...
allmusic rate this a perfect 3.0, also describing it as "one of rock's greatest albums ever"...
its basically The Boss telling stories of everyday mundane,boring life in Jersey...something he has always excelled at(much like Bob Dylan in that respect), he's able to tap into the psychy of society's life and keep it 'real', none moreso than on the beautiful haunting "4th of july,asbury pk(sandy)" which is written by someone way older with life experiences than his youthful 22yrs of age....
im also a bit surprised by the high score on this one,always liked it a lot, but scoring albums sometimes comes up with some pleasant and sometimes not so pleasant ratings for me!...this one is one in the former catagory....
hey Bruce....long may you run!
