Album Notes & Community Reviews
Before tightening his sound into stadium-ready arena rock, Bruce Springsteen delivered a wonderfully sprawling, wildly eclectic celebration of New Jersey boardwalk life. 'The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle' is an incredibly warm, fiercely energetic heartland rock classic, utilizing highly poetic, remarkably passionate urban storytelling set against beautifully romantic, jazz-inflected R&B arrangements.
