1 - Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. (1973)
Manage episode 471020801 series 3652376
In which James Murphy and Kit Power begin their deep dive into the studio albums of Columbia recording artist Bruce Springsteen.
With a startling lack of originality, we start at the beginning, taking in 1973s Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ. There's a bit of initial amused bafflement that this is the origin story for one of popular music's biggest and most reliable stadium fillers, but we also discover a lot to enjoy and ponder, especially on side 2, as well as some signposts towards future greatness. An enjoyable start to a keenly anticipated journey.
