ABOUT THIS ITEM

I'd heard this lot were Springsteen fans, but with the drawl and attack of the singer on the very first song, a "Warehouse" era Husker Du springs more readily to mind. What follows is an unbelievably life-affirming rock'n'roll record which recalls the E-Street Band only in its joy, effervescence and unflinching disregard for any notions of fashion or 'cool'. This is classic, passionate music from the heart, which, when married to such excellent, emotive lyrics (murder, dreams, hope, death, lowlife, wonder!) unfurls more like a film than an actual LP. Recommended.
