About this album

Love Is A Sacrifice is a strong late-period statement from Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, blending Jersey shore R&B with soul, blues and arena-sized rock muscle. Issued in 1980, it shows the band sharpening its brass-driven attack and working through themes of desire, loss and resilience with the rough-edged conviction that made them cult favourites. Frontman Southside Johnny’s weathered vocals keep the songs grounded, while the Jukes bring the punch and feel of a band built for both barrooms and big stages. It stands as a vivid example of the group’s hard-working, emotionally direct sound at the turn of the decade.
