This album is close to my heart. My friends and I would go to the Stone Pony, the legendary Asbury Park club, at least twice a week to see this band when they first started. They played a great combo of originals and R&B covers, e.g. Sam & Dave's Broke Down Piece of a Man. Played all the songs on this album, which includes two fine guest duets, one with Lee Dorsey, the other with Ronnie Spector. On the other hand, it fills me with such wonderful nostalgia I'm not an objective listener.
