Random Track of the Day
Thursday, November 10 2011
Something very different today. From my collection the random-o-meter has picked out this from Bruce Springsteen, from one of his early albums, this is the ostensible title track to the 1973 album “The wild, the innocent and the E Street shuffle”.
The E Street shuffle --- Bruce Springsteen --- from "The wild, the innocent and the E Street shuffle" on Columbia
Not by any means typical of the type of song Springsteen would some become famous for, and connected with, this is a mixture of blues, soul, jazz and rock, but this sort of “story of the streets” would resonate through his later work, even as his music turned to harder-edged rock, particularly albums like “Born to run” and “Darkness on the edge of town”.

Note: after searching for a long time for the right candidate, Trollheart finally has an assistant to help run this section, and you'll meet Stacey-Lynn tomorrow. From then on, she will take over "Random Track of the Day" and be responsible for it. There will be a makeover of the section, which again will be guided by and under the creative influence of Stacey-Lynn. Ah, some help at last! )
