Reacquired on cd after having long owned the 3lp set

That's a great set!  I've never owned the LPs, but I did buy it on CD years ago.

It doesn't get as much love, but I'm also very fond of the second WTCBU set:



might even try and give that another play tonight

I knew that there was a second one out, but haven't heard it.  I see that they did a third volume too (30 years later); where does the time go?!

So, I was more or less a fan of Born to Run, back when it was new. For whatever reasons, I didn't care for the follow-up album. Springsteen would. for all intents and purposes lose me, with "Hungry Heart" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town."
Later, at college, a classmate wrote a review of then-newly-released Nebraska, and I upbraided him for discussing the lyrics exclusively, and the music not at all.

Somehow, this year, I am curious to listen at last to the album, myself:

I'm glad that random thought crossed my mind. I like this album a lot.

^By far my most played and most admired Springsteen release.

There was an excellent episode of the My Favorite Album podcast on it, if you're interested:

There's also a lot of really interesting unused songs from those session/demos on Youtube

Boy, I haven't played that one in ages myself.  Glad that you enjoyed revisiting it Karl.

A favorite of mine (particularly on long drives):  Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.....so many great songs on there.  Love the E-Street Band too!

The second dud in a row from an old pro.  This is better than Springsteen's horrid attempt at blue-eyed soul.

RIP Wilko Johnson lead guitarist with Dr Feelgood. My great regret is not seeing the band live.

Thanks for that link Lol.  I hadn't heard of them before now, but enjoyed the first song from that link (haven't listened to the rest yet). 

And sorry that you weren't able to see them live too.  Which albums of theirs do you have that you enjoy the most?

I don't know if there is an equivalent in your neck of the woods PD but although they made recordings Dr Feelgood is essentially a "pub band". Get the place rocking!

I thought that it was rather surprising then that their live album rose to No. 1 in the UK charts?

I am sure that we have an equivalent here though I'm not quite certain what they are called.  I guess "bar bands"?

How about Canned Heat? More Bluesy then Dr Feelgood, but both down and dirty. Alan Wilson with his slide guitar possibly more gifted then Wilko Johnson. Canned Heat at Woodstock is pretty amazing.

I don't know their music very well, but I've liked what I have heard.
