Our Take

In the annals of rock history, there are few bands as quintessentially American as Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. With their unruly, heartfelt sound and gritty, blue-collar lyrics, they epitomize the sweat-soaked, beer-drenched spirit of the Jersey Shore scene. Their classic album, "Hearts of Stone," released in 1978, is a testament to their enduring appeal and unmatched musical prowess.

From the opening track, "Got to Be a Better Way Home," the Jukes waste no time in grabbing the listener by the collar and dragging them into their world of broken hearts and barroom blues. Johnny Lyon's gravelly vocals soar over a wall of horns and Hammond organs, creating a sound that is at once familiar yet wholly unique.

Standout tracks like "Take It Inside" and "Talk to Me" showcase the band's versatility and songwriting chops, while slower ballads like "Broke Down Piece of Man" and the title track "Hearts of Stone" reveal a deeper, more introspective side to the Jukes' persona.

Overall, "Hearts of Stone" is a masterclass in rock 'n' roll storytelling, a testament to a band at the height of their powers. So grab a cold one, throw on your leather jacket, and crank up the volume - Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes are here to remind us that, sometimes, the best music comes from the heart. Cheers!
