Title: Juke Box Jive
Review: After the band had signed with Mercury Records, their former label - Columbia Records - released this 10-song set that takes a glance at the three studio albums released from 1976-1978.The trio of albums - I Don't Want to Go Home (1976), This Time It's for Real (1977), Heart's of Stone (1978) - were critically-acclaimed, but did not meet the marketplace expectations set by the record company. The sizzling R&B; sound cuts right to the roots of rock-n-roll.Maybe it was the close linkage with Bruce Springsteen, the coming of punk rock or FM radio playlists that focused on arena heroes, but Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes never broke out from the bars. It was not because of inferior material or band indifference....this is one of the best groups to burst onto the scene in this "Golden Age of Rock."
