"Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your Rock 'n' Roll
And drift away
Won't you take me away?"

Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time -
I don't understand the things I do.
The world outside looks so unkind,
So I'm countin' on you
To carry me through.
Dobie Gray - Drift Away
*I’ve loved this song since I’ve been alive

Album Review: Bruce Springsteen - Only the Strong Survive
You’ll probably never run into Bruce Springsteen in a karaoke bar. But listen to Only the Strong Survive and you’ll know just what it would sound like.
Rather than giving these 15 tracks the E Street treatment, Springsteen renders the songs of Frank Wilson (“Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)”), William Bell (“Any other Way,” “I Forgot to be Your Lover”), the Four Tops (“7 Rooms of Gloom”) and others much as they were written and sings them like Springsteen.
This doesn’t work out at all on the Supremes’ “Someday We’ll be Together.” And the Commodores’ “Nightshift” is just a crummy song.
Jerry Butler’s “Hey, Western Union Man” and Ben E. King’s “Don’t Play that Song” notwithstanding, there’s a sterile feeling to the covers LP, likely owing to producer Ron Aniello’s essentially one-man instrumentation, plus an over reliance on string arrangements and big backgrounds.
And when Springsteen and his guest Sam Moore address each other - the former pleading to hear some Sam & Dave - during the fade on Dobie Gray’s “Soul Days,” the most-clichéd of cameo tricks is groan-worthy.
