ruce Springsteen signed a recording deal with Columbia Records in the summer of 1972 and immediately began recording his debut album. The songs were new and old; some had been in his set for many years, others were completed only after inking this deal. Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ was released in January of 1973, and within the week Springsteen, with a little help from three of the later-to-be-named E Street Band, were performing their first ever radio broadcast, aired on Boston s WBCN FM.

In 1959, John Lee Hooker signed a one-off deal with the Riverside label to record an acoustic session of the country blues. It was a key change from his earlier recordings, most of which had featured Hooker on an electric guitar with his trademark reverb and stomping foot. Folk purists of the day were delighted with COUNTRY BLUES, believing Hooker had returned to his roots, leaving the "glitzy commercialism" of R&B behind. But some Hooker fans considered COUNTRY BLUES a "betrayal" of his true sound. The truth is probably somewhere in-between. Remember, John Lee Hooker is always John Lee Hooker, regardless of the format. If you like Hooker, or acoustic blues, buy this album. It is an intimate session featuring standards like "How Long", "Bottle Up and Go", as well as Hooker's first recorded take on "Tupelo", one of his all-time classics.
