First Listen: New Album from John Cafferty / Ep. 60
from RockPopandRoll · host rockforward
As the frontman of John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, Cafferty rose to prominence with the soundtrack to the 1983 failed studio movie turned HBO cult classic "Eddie and the Cruisers". “On the Dark Side” became a hit, topping the rock charts. It went top ten on the Hot 100. His music, eerily close to the sound of Bruce Springsteen, helped define a genre - heartland rock with an East Coast rock and roll, let's-cruise-the-beach-roads, sweaty, smoky rock bar vibe. While not a massive star, Cafferty maintained a long touring career, especially in the Northeastern U.S., where he and his band have a devoted fan base. He has released the band's first new album since 1988. What did he bring? We listen together. I hadn't heard the album until I recorded this podcast.
