Hearts of Stone is the best album Bruce Springsteen never recorded. Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes were a hard-working Jersey rock-‘n’-soul outfit who happened to count E-Streeter Miami Steve Van Zandt among its alumni. Van Zandt continued to contribute to the band as a writer, producer, and musician even after he’d joined Springsteen’s band, and brought his boss aboard for this 1978 triumph. (Springsteen also penned numbers for the group’s good-but-not-great first and second albums.) Springsteen and Van Zandt contributed all nine songs here and the lot of them-from the brassy, tenacious opener “Got to Be a Better Way Home” to the mournful coda, “Light Don’t Shine”-are winners. Van Zandt cut his ties with the Jukes following Hearts of Stone and the group never found a new source of great material. But for one album, the light did shine for these Jersey journeymen. -Steven Stolder
