I'm sure there's lots of you out there who for years have been wondering ''I wonder how great Springsteen would be if Joe Strummer was in the E Street Band.'' Well it probably would sound something like this: The Backseat from Gaslight Anthem's terrific (and I mean terrific) new album The 59 Sound.

Good work tincanman - I have been banging on about these to anyone who would listen for the past 12 months. I managed to get 3 mates to go to Amsterdam to see them in July and they didn't disappoint. The first LP (Sink or Swim) is just as good if not better as it has a bit more light and shade. Live they tend to put old soul covers at the beginning of songs - Marvin, Otis, Sam et al and it works. They really enjoy themselves onstage and have a big future head of them. Spread the word. JimCraggs.
I'd like to see them headline Glastonbury this year.
(or the Hold Steady, but as much as I like them - and I really really like them - how many songs you want about getting wasted at a party?)
I like 'em when they come on my ipod, but the songs never pop into my head at any other times.
