Album Notes Personnel: Bruce Springsteen (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, harmonica, piano, bass, percussion); Clarence Clemons (saxophone, background vocals); David Sancious (piano, organ); Garry Tallent (bass); Vincent "Loper" Lopez (drums, background vocals). Recorded at 914 Sound Studios, Blauvelt, New York in 3 weeks.Bursting at the seams with big words and crazy rhymes, Bruce Springsteen's first album has more lyrics than a lot of rockers' entire careers. The opening line is, "Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat." John Hammond, the legendary talent scout who signed Springsteen to Columbia, is said to have heard a new Dylan. Hammond no doubt pushed for spare, folkie fare like "The Angel" and "Mary Queen Of Arkansas," on which Springsteen describes the local New Jersey color in a manner befitting a bridge-and-tunnel Van Morrison. But GREETINGS also features a handful of rock & roll songs whose spunk and spirit make it clear where Springsteen's heart really is; this was a new Dylan who wanted to dispense with "Blowin' In The Wind" and go electric right away. "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City" and "Growin' Up" are fueled by David Sancious' rollicking piano and Springsteen's husky voice and define both a James Dean rebel persona and a giant rock & roll ambition that would guide Springsteen's music for a long time to come.

Top Reviews  Bruce Springsteen 27 of 28 people found this review helpful. This is great. All the songs are so deep and the lyrics are finely written. Lost In The Flood gives a touch of darkness to the album, and It's Hard to Be a Saint is just superb. A great album for any fan of music. Review ID: 10000000003844339 Was this review helpful?
