  • THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1976 THE WESTERN CAROLINA wxauggthBR '^'^ In the Dark' at Highlands by Greg L. Teetsell I Don't Wanna Go Home Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes [CBS/Epicj So al! right already, I know it's been a great year for Jersey. You remember, everybody's favorite cover-boy making good, hit records and all? Well, Southside Johnny Trane and Springsteen guitarist and protege Miami Steve have made a record that's enough to make the Colonel feel licked. It's that crispy. And these guys are tight. Really tight. Like they've been stuck in bars and weddings and Bar Mitzvahs and bowling league dances and frat home-coming bashes for the last ten years. Which they probably have. Playing Top 40 before and after Top 40 was "uncool, man" and not shit Top 40 but Soul Top 40 and what is politely called "Southern Beach Music" by whites who frequent Jim Crow clubs at the beach. So Southside Johnny sings authentic R&B, none of that disco monotone crap. There's not even a hint that anything but the cream of the old Stax/Volt Organization and MoTown are the kingpins of summertime music on the East coast. And when Johnny sings, he sings with authority. Enough authority, in fact, that Lee "Workin' Inna Coal Mines" Dorsey shares vocals with him on one track and is obviously a strong inspiration for most, if not all. of the other cuts. The names of the songs are not especially important, excepting a dud written by Bruce called The Fever. Ronnie Spector shares the vocals on the album's other Springsteen song and Ms. Spector (wife of wunderkind Phil) and Springsteen compliment each other and Southside Johnny well. And then there are the horns. Horns in white rock and roll are usually bad, heavyhanded, and therefore humorous in a clumsy way, or sloppy drunk. Horns in jazz are usually very complex (thereby enabling some to argue that jazz is a more "intellectual" form...) but it all ends up as a pseudo-sophisticated Woody Hayes by virtue of the lack of any discernable "hook" to the melody. Or it ends up as a form of easy listening muzak with artistic pretentions. Well, Miami Steve has avoided all of that by ignoring jazz as a viable medium in R&B on I Don't Wanna Go Home.As an arranger, Miami Steve has learned his lesson well from all of those old sides on Stax/Volt and the early MoTown stuff. Horns are instruments of power, and when used sparingly can provide a poignant juxtaposition to a man with a voice like Southside Johnny or Lee Dorsey or Bruce or David Ruffin, just to name a few of America's R&B singers of either race. And Miami Steve provides that sparingness. But I'll rave on about Johnny's voice later. There are liner notes on this album. Most Elpees these daze don't got em. There's a good reason, too. Most Elpees haven't got a history or a scene that's worth noting, or they're English and the cover art on English Elpees usually is good enough to make up for it. Well, Southside's got a nice blurb by Bruce, giving a colorful history of starvation and rock and roll in south Jersey in the early seventies and on and on... Back to Johnny's voice. I've always thought that Paul Rodgers of Bad Co. and Rod the Mod Stewart would make a great white Sam and Dave. But I was wrong. Paul Rodgers is doing Bad Co. so that he'll have beer money when he's old and his voice is shot and Roddy has just up and got mellow on us. Which leaves us to turn to the laboring class resort of Asbury Park, New Jersey. And its vocal prides, Bruce and Southside Johnny. Together, these guys could, easily make great, honest white R&B. Separately, they're great, Bruce as a mordant to disco and pap-pop. and Southside as a happy-go-lucky unscathed club player who's made it to living money; but together they could be the best duo in recent memory in America. But whatever, Southside Johnny's I Don't Wanna Go Home is well worth a summer's listen, a summer's dance, and I highly recommend it as an invigorating journey into R&B without any concession to the mindless techno-boogie in the A murder trial with French- farced jokes is scheduled as the next attraction at Highlands Playhouse.
