| Bruce Springsteen "The Wild, the Innocent, the E. Street Shuffle" All-music guide calls this album "one of the greatest albums in the history of rock & roll," and I can hardly disagree, as I consider it my favorite record. Not only does this record contain some outstanding individual songs, some of Springsteen's best ("Rosalita" and "Kitty's Back" for instance), but it flows like a song-suite, and side two of the vinyl version stands as one of the great album-sides in the history of recorded music, with its triage of "Incident on 57th Street/Rosalita/NYC Serenade". I can't really come up with anything negative to say about this album; it is a perfect record. The production is clean, the songwriting outstanding, and the performances impeccable. It is a landmark album. HOME |
