The Gaslight Anthem soundtrip


Fortunate to have seen The Gaslight Anthem during their formative years at New Brunswick, New Jersey. They were raw and had this rock and roll energy about their performances. Plus, it looked like they were some greaser gang out of S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders. I was entranced.

Imagine when I saw them years later when I saw a compact disc of The '59 Sound in HMV. I immediately got it and every release of theirs I could find.

They were even better than I remember. And this band and all their five albums plus the EP, SeƱor and The Queen occupy a hallowed space in my collection.
