5.0 out of 5 stars Southside Johnny Breaks With Springsteen & Company, And Starts A New Phase Of His Career, September 16, 2008

This review is from: Jukes (Audio CD)

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes had given up covering R&B oldies on their previous studio album, HEARTS OF STONE. On THE JUKES, they break completely with Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zant, and leave the songwriting entirely to Southside and guitarist Billy Rush. Despite the absence of Springsteen and Van Zandt, the horns and guitars still sound punchy, and rather than the dreamy romanticism of the first three albums, this one focuses on a world in disorder and the struggle of the songs' characters to cope with it. In addition, the music sounds more contemporary, taking in what was going on in the music world at the time it was recorded. This isn't the first place to discover Southside Johnny, but it is a masterful album nonetheless.

this cd is no less than fantastic. every song is great. the horns make it so different from other rock music and so incredibly good. i cannot believe this band never hit it really big; the talent here is huge. buy this cd. it's old now but has stood the test of time which proves it is great music. i remember last nite is my favorite song. i saw them do it at the agora ballroom in atlanta about 25 yrs ago and will never forget it. they have other good cd's but this is zzz best!
