The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle (1973)

Play Listen

Still young, still eager to please, still reluctant to shave, Bruce scores his first triumph, with ridiculous car/girl mythos and jazzy rhythms and horns and guitars all over the place.

HIGH POINT: "Rosalita," a pile-driving eight-minute anthem from the swamps of Jersey, the ultimate us-against-the-world teen romance.
