Bruce Springsteen Album-By-Album

Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. (1973)

Listen

The young Bruce Springsteen makes his entrance as a scruffy acoustic Dylan disciple: way too wordy and rhythmically sludgy, but there's already a spark.


HIGH POINT: "Spirit in the Night," the story of a bunch of losers who leave their blues behind for a late-night joy ride.
