Joe Grushecky and The Houserockers - Rock and Real (1989)



Another artist related/similar to Bruce Springsteen. The big difference being that Joe Gruscheky is from Pittsburgh, and though critically acclaimed, he never received the same attention or success as Bruce Springsteen. American blue-collar bar rock that draws on classic R&B. This is more like the fun tracks on The River, but some of the tracks also almost sound like punk rock. I guess they were heavily influenced by The Clash as well, so it makes sense, but there's a few tracks on this that wouldn't feel out of place on a Epitaph or Fat Wrecks comp I think. This is their sixth album.

Tracklist:
1. Rock and Real
2. Memphis Queen
3. Unsafe At Any Speed
4. The Biddle Mine
5. How Long
6. Freedom's Hall
7. Out Of My Head
8. Little Marie
9. Ain't Goin' Down
10. Rebel Music
11. Daddy's Little Angel
