A culmination of all the lust and loss ever sung by all the Jersey bar bands I've ever heard. Their sound is the best music to ever come out of New Jersey and that's saying alot. You'd swear you knew guys like them back in the neighborhood and here they are singing about people and times you grew up with. Raucous, bluesy, soulful, smart music with fabulous harmonies you can't help but sing along with. "Trapped Again" is my favorite Southside song, if not my favorite of all time. Good time music if ever there was.

I first turned onto Southside and the Jukes in the eighth grade (the only one of my peers of course) but I knew i'd found something special. this music has always served, to me, as a paradigm of what great music and a great band should sound like.

The crowd stands, weary but estatic on a hot Jersey night. Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, the World's Greatest Bar Band, are dripping in sweat but a LONG way from being done. In the dark come the unmistakable first chords of "The Fever", Southside steps up to the mike and blows into the harp. The sound is smokey and dense. That is, until the horns blast through the soup and suddenly the whole bar, and it seems like the whole Earth, is jumping. "It's gonna be all right" indeed! "I Don't Want To Go Home" Is a collection of songs almost too good for this world. Penned mostly by Steve Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen, the songs range from passionate to glorious to beatiful aching balleds. Driven by sqealing guitars, driving horns, and, of course, the best vocalist this side of Otis Redding, Southside's first three records are essential proof that there was once a great music called rock and roll. And at its center beat a raging, burning heart. Do yourself a favor- seek out these records at any cost.
