On Greetings From Asbury Park, Bruce Springsteen was just getting started. Sure, there were plenty of signs of what was to come. Then just a few months later, out came The Wild The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle, Bruce really gave us a statement of intent that he was going to keep pushing hard. There was a real sense of the E Street Band had evolved to be more than just a backing band. It was the E Street Band as a street gang. Pushing the funky street zeitgeist of 1973 and nowhere was that was more in evidence than on the opening track, E Street Shuffle. A story of the street rats, hustlers and players that would form the backdrop for Bruce's career every bit as much as chrome wheels and fuel injection. Welcome to Easy Joe's - a club where all the riot squad goes when they're cashin' in for a cheap hustle.
