Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle
Listen to full episode:
On this week's episode, we delve into the vastly underrated second LP by Bruce Springsteen: The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle.
This was a departure from Springsteen's debut as he attempted to make the kind of album HE wanted to make. As a result, his label actively worked to torpedo its success.
