In 1980, and from the street of hard knocks came Bruce Spingsteen’s fifth album, “The River”, a raw and stark collection of music that reaches out for a handshake, then pulls you deep into the not so rosy reality of working class America. He sings of victory and loss, of blessings and sins, and of good times and bad with an honesty and devoted morality that only the common man can relate. Hard truths like the complexity of relationships and the relentless inescapable sands of time fill this album, making it a glistening gem in any record collection. What comes when you mix Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, John Lennon, Prince, and a dash of Jimi Hendrix? Lenny Kravitz’s 1993 release “Are You Gonna Go My Way”, that’s what. His third and most successful album to date catapults it’s way into your ears, mind and charts solidifying him as not only a true rocker but also the “Aggregator of Styles”. Kravitz delves into faith and freedom with a musical confidence and direction that leaves the music fan wondering is there anything this rockin’ f- - ker can’t do. I’ll tell what some of us can’t do………resist a juicy ass! Make that two pints of “Juicy Ass” from the Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery, please.
