Editorial Reviews

Product Description

1973 sophomore album from the singer/songwriter who would later become one of the biggest superstars in the world. Features future classics like 'Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)' and 'Incident on 57th Street'.

Amazon.com

If Springsteen's debut, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. revealed just how ambitious a talent he was, it also fell just short of realizing those ambitions. No such problem with this, his second album. The Dylanesque wordplay is there, but with more narrative detail, as on "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)," "Kitty's Back," and "Rosalita," each of which became instant Springsteen classics and were demanded by his concert crowds for years. But even on this record, the music isn't allowed to take a back seat to the words--the latter two, at least, are full-tilt rock & roll numbers, with abrupt tempo shifts, soaring instrumental parts, and production that's just chaotic enough to make you wonder if the whole thing is going to blow apart and then smile in appreciation when it doesn't. The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle was the first time Springsteen scaled the heights of rock & roll greatness--but it wouldn't be the last. --Daniel Durchholz

More than an album, but part of the classic Asbury Park.

December 2, 2016

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

The bosses best. I lived in the circuit in Asbury for years after this album. Both the hope and the hopeless are in here. I lived across the street from where his band used to practice when they first started, so I may be a bit biased twards a local boy but this is his signature album and his best.. Just was down there, Madam Maries gone and most of the rest of the place has been torn down and replaced by parking lots. The place I lived is just a sidewalk and a bare lot. The Stone Pony Still Stands. So the Icon remains. Plus now plenty of parking

Dramatically improved sound for a brilliant album!

August 17, 2018

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

The sophomore release from Bruce Springsteen lives up to all the promise and brilliance foreshadowed on "Greetings From Asbury Park". A working class kid from Freehold, New Jersey presents a panorama of city life with some of the most stunningly original street poetry ever set to music. Each song is populated with characters (Spanish Johnny, Puerto Rican Jane, Rosalita, Kitty, Sandy, Madam Marie, Billy) and stories so fully realized that they are indelibly stamped into your consciousness forever. These songs are bursting at the seams with the energy of youth when anything seems possible. Springsteen's transcendent lyrics transform grimy urban street scenes into universal visions of hope and beauty. Each song seems a living thing, using a wide variety of intrumentation to paint vivid imagery in your mind. You can feel the heat and dust rising from the street during "The E Street Shuffle"(dig the funky guitar and brass). Hear the boardwalk sounds and young hearts beating in the romance of "4th of July Asbury Park (Sandy)" (courtesy of Dan Federici's Accordion). A stinging guitar solo kicks off the cool rock/jazz of "Kitty's Back" (Powerful guitar and organ solos take things to a fever pitch). Side two is my favorite of any album ever released! Beginning with the gorgeous cinema verite of "Incident on 57th Street" through the pull-out-all-the-stops, dream-come-true, redemption party that is "Rosalita" and ending with the stunning "New York Serenade" featuring strings and sensational piano by David Sancious. "Born to Run" would cement Springsteen's status as one of rock music's greatest writers but he has never equalled the incredible poetry, narratives and arrangements found on this release. The remastered sound is so crisp and clean it's like hearing these songs for the first time!

Still my favorite after all these years!

Asbury Park, Darkness, The River, etc. are all masterpieces but this was the first Springsteen I bought some 40 years ago and it is still my favorite album of his. Every song evokes a special mood. It’s a timeless work of art and belongs in any music fan’s collection. 5-plus stars!

1974 -- this album came out. Seems so long ago, but I remember most of the lyrics! Glad to have this music in my life again.

A classic, this is arguably Bruce's best album. It is romantic, rocking, soothes the savage beast. Not quite a concept album, it does seem to flow so smoothly from beginning to end. Once it gets under your skin, it'll never leave you and you'll be better off because of it. Remastered, it sounds better than ever. Enjoy!

True Classics Never Die

October 18, 2012

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I've been waiting for Bruce to give me something as great as his mostly ignored second album, "The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle." "Born to Run" is deservedly prestigious, with inspiring power pieces like "Jungleland." Though this album established Bruce's rock 'n' roll format for the future, for me it was a step down from the incredible genius creativity, the sophistication, the fusion of genres of rock, soul & jazz captured with "The Wild & Innocent."

With the Grammy nomination for "The Rising" and the immensity of the 9/11 American experience as its format, I anticipated that the musical splendor of that second album might again be acheived. "The Rising" is a very good work, but, alas, falls short in comparison.

"Wrecking Ball" was highly touted by Jimmy Fallon when Bruce appeared on his show. Jimmy knows good music. I am slowly coming to agree with him as this album continues to grow on me. It most certainly speaks to our current hard times of financial recession, unemployment, and the privileged aristocrat thieves who viciously continue to rape and plunder the world economy. The simplicity of the lyrics, with their bluntness, strong metaphorical imagery and subtle calls of hope and deliverence, work dynamically with the stark melodies to give us all reason to have heart and persevere for that better day. The album is so good that the fascinating "Swallowed Up" is presented as a bonus track on the "Special Edition."

But, for pure musical brilliance, "The Wild and Innocent" still stands alone. And probably always will. True classics never die.

Time machine to my childhood

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

Growing up in the 90's, Bruce was always a staple in our home. This album has my personal favorite song ever by Springsteen (New York City serenade) and it gives me chills every single time I hear it because so many memories from my childhood come flooding back. Bittersweet and beautiful album.

Must have for anyone who appreciates Springsteen

June 15, 2016

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

One of the seminal albums of late 1973/1974. A romantic story-telling tour de force with ups and downs of loves wanted and abandoned. What the heck? It rocks and it evokes the romance of summer love. A coming-out party of anthems for anyone in high school or college or both in 1974.
