About this album
Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. is a striking debut that announced Bruce Springsteen as a major American songwriter. Released in 1973, the album pairs fast-talking, character-rich lyrics with restless rock arrangements, capturing the energy of New Jersey streets, boardwalks and bars. Early signatures such as Blinded By The Light and Spirit In The Night show the wit, ambition and verbal density that soon made Springsteen famous, while songs like Growin’ Up and It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City point to the working-class poetry that would shape his career. Though his sound would soon broaden, this record established the voice and vision behind one of rock’s great catalogues.
