Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
There is a detailed history here of Blinded by the Light, but they don't explain why Manfred Mann changed "cut loose" to "revved up".

“He’s been influenced a lot by The Band, his arrangements tend to take on a Van Morrison tinge every now and then, and he sort of catarrh-mumbles his ditties in a disgruntled mushmouth sorta like Robbie Robertson on Quaaludes with Dylan barfing down the back of his neck. It’s a tuff combination, but it’s only the beginning. Because what makes Bruce totally unique and cosmically surfeiting is his words. Hot damn, what a passel o’ verbiage!”
— Lester Bangs’ review of Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. for Rolling Stone, ‘73.

Best of Bruce Springsteen Coming April 19
- “Growin’ Up” previews 18- and 31-track collections
At 74, Bruce Springsteen is still “Growin’ Up.”
The Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. number is the opening song and preview single from the forthcoming Best of Bruce Springsteen, which arrives April 19.
Fifty-one years after its initial release, “Growin’ Up” is a reminder of how close Springsteen was to being his fully formed musical and lyrical self on his 1973 debut. He sounds pretty much like the guy who would become the Boss just a few years later as he sings:
The flag of piracy flew from my mast/my sails were set wing to wing/I had a jukebox graduate for first mate/she couldn't sail but she sure could sing
Available in physical (18 cuts) and digital (31) formats, the discography-spanning Best of collection includes such fan favorites as “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)” and “The River;” hits like “Hungry Heart” and “Born in the USA;” the soundtrack-only “Streets of Philadelphia;” the acoustic “The Ghost of Tom Joad;” and 21st-century numbers including “Ghosts” and “Letter to You.”

hi dre :))) i was wondering if you had any bruce springsteen recs? i listened to some of his older stuff (born in the usa and born to run albums) for most of my childhood bc my mom liked him so i was thinking of listening to his other stuff but he has A Lot of songs so idk where to start lmao
also, off topic, but listened to a new song recently and thought it was maybe something you'd enjoy? it's Young In America by Barns Courtney :)
to answer in reverse order:
I probably would very much like that song & will check it out, because I like a couple Barns Courtney songs, namely the song called "99," which is good if you haven't heard it! ty for the rec!! :))
Now, onto Brucie:
My favorite albums of Bruce's are (though I of course love the albums you mentioned) Darkness On the Edge of Town & The River.
Though, Bruce's earliest stuff is good too, if you want to go chronologically! He's got two albums from around '73 (Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. & The Wild, The Innocent, & the E Street Shuffle) that are great & are full of instrumental emphasis, which I personally love.
I personally prefer Bruce's "prime," I guess you could say, which was the late 70s into the 80s.
His newer (late 90s & on, I guess) stuff sometimes gets more country, which I like (The Ghost of Tom Joad & Devils & Dust has some good stuff)! But some people prefer the more rock sound, or jazzy ballad sound - I prefer such sounds, so it's fine to not have a favorite in the recent stuff, haha, I'm all for older sound.
With Bruce, you gotta get into the vibe of an album, he has a lot of different aesthetics, so to highlight some of those...
Individual songs that are my favorites & not on the albums you mentioned:
"Adam Raised a Cain" (Darkness On the Edge of Town)
"Hungry Heart" (The River)
"Fire" (The Promise)
"High Hopes" (High Hopes)
"Tougher Than the Rest" (Tunnel of Love)
"Waitin' on a Sunny Day" (The Rising)
"Better Days" (Lucky Town)
"Human Touch" (Human Touch)
"My City of Ruins" (The Rising)
"Working On a Dream" (Working On a Dream)
"State Trooper" (Nebraska)
"Turn Back the Hands of Time" (Turn Back the Hands of Time)
"The Ties That Bind" (The River)
"Girls In Their Summer Clothes" (Magic)
"Open All Night" (Nebraska)
"Badlands" (Darkness On the Edge of Town)
"The Price You Pay" (The River)
"Candy's Room" (Darkness On the Edge of Town)
"Atlantic City" (Nebraska)
"Devils & Dust" (Devils & Dust)
"Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" (The Wild, The Innocent, & the E Street Shuffle)
"Racing in the Street" (Darkness On the Edge of Town)
"Blinded By The Light" (Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.)
"Cadillac Ranch" (The River)
"The Promise Land" (Darkness On the Edge of Town)
"Ghosts" (Letter to You)
"The River" (The River)
there's a TON of great singles too, & songs I did not mention (I can't go on naming favorite songs forever, since I'll name almost his whole discography, LOL)
so take this! my BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FAVORITES playlist, which features all these songs & more:
This is a long post, but I'm not normal about him, sorry! Ty for giving me an excuse to ramble about him!!
Hope this helps!!! ❣️💜
