Promise & Fulfillment: Formulas For Real Bread Without Gluten

Southside's first two albums on one CD. Originally released in 1976 and 1977, I Don’t Want to Go Home and This Time It's For Real make for a doubleshot of classic Jukes. On this one disc you'll find Southside's first two albums (which immediately preceded Hearts of Stone) with eight songs penned by Steve Van Zandt, two by Springsteen ('The Fever' and 'You Mean So Much to Me') and three by Bruce and Steve together ('Little Girl So Fine,' 'Love on the Wrong Side of Town,' and 'When You Dance'). UK import, a 2004 release.

Listening to this album was one weird experience back in 1973, and it hasn't gotten much less so since – but weird in the best, most glorious possible way. Where the 1968 Frank Zappa/Mothers of Invention album Cruising with Ruben & the Jets was as much a satire of as a tribute to rock & roll and doo wop music, laced with several layers of humor and musical sophistication piled on top of its basic material, the For Real! album – produced by Zappa for a real-life Ruben & the Jets – is a stunningly beautiful, utterly delightful and straightforward musical creation; it's all different from the tone of the album that helped inspire it, yet it seems the perfect follow-up to that album.
