But once upon a time, that story was told through the wide-eyed perspective of a 23-year-old kid with a dream and an innate understanding of the hugeness of life’s daily experiences, like the passion of young love, the celebration of relationships, the struggle for survival, and the fireworks on the fourth of July. By The Wild, The Innocent, And The E Street Shuffle he already had the uber-talented E Street Band behind him and years of experience tearing up barrooms and concert halls around the country. The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on September 11, 1973. With his next album, Bruce Springsteen would conquer the world, and he has been telling America’s story with vision and humanity ever since. Wild Innocent And The E Street Shuffle : Tracklist (Vinyl) A1 : Light Of Day : A2 : Im Bad, Im Nationwide : A3 : Come On, Lets Go : A4 : Im On Fire : B1 : Around And Around : B2 : Glory Days : B3 : Havin A Party See more tracks. He would also name his band after the album’s opening track (ironically, it was this album’s keyboardist, David Sancious, whose mother lived on the real E Street in Belmar, N.J., though Sancious would not become a true E Street band member). He would continue bringing Sandy and Rosalita to life hundreds of times on stage, making those two girls the most enduring elements of this album.
Perhaps those trippy ’60s records had, indeed, inspired what was his most ambitious and experimental production work, but Bruce Springsteen’s Jersey and New York remained spiritually far away from Pepperland.īruce never returned to such grand pieces, but that was only appropriate to the story he was telling: As life got tougher for his protagonists, so did their stories, their songs. If “Incident on 57th Street” was “West Side Story” in eight minutes, this was “Midnight Cowboy” in 10. The climactic “New York City Serenade” takes rock and roll closer to both classical and jazz than any more ambitious rock opera ever has, doing so with strings and even more characters from the seedier underworld of urban life.
