New Jersey can also boast the resurrection of The BUTLER Boss after two consecutive decades of softer al- bums and non-successful returns of the E Street Band.

But Springsteen manages to lighten the mood and revive the spirit of warmer months with "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" which can bring any fan immediately back to the Jersey shore that "Hie Boss" is so in love with as he has proved through decades of similar, feel-good summer songs. Eor an artist who was featured on the cover of Time magazine on Oct. 27, 1975, as "Rock's New Sensation,* Springsteen has more than proved his vitality and musical resilience. Though older artists are often unfairly com- pared to past work, either being expected to return completely to their traditional style and sound or to break through with something com- pletely revolutionary, Springsteen has managed to fit between the lines. Springsteen, producer Brendan O'Brien and the E Street Band have managed to produce a fantastic album touch- ing on timely topics while still delivering sol- id tracks, reminiscent of his traditional style. without boring fans.
