 | | Description: | Die Deluxe-Edition zum 25-jährigen Jubiläum des Albums enthält LIVE-Tracks von der legendären October Assault Tour der Houserockers.
Grushecky und seine Band waren bereits seit fast 25 Jahren eine feste Grö�e in den Clubs im Nordosten der USA, als
sie 1995 American Babylon veröffentlichten.
Die Band aus Pittsburgh hatte sich als vollendete Bar-Band bewiesen, die gelegentlich mit nationalem Erfolg flirtete. Für
"American Babylon" taten sie sich mit Bruce Springsteen zusammen, der die Produktion übernahm
und zwei Songs für das Album schrieb.
Der Titeltrack ist ein Uptempo-Rocker, welcher den Zerfall der gesellschaftlichen Sitten thematisiert. Es gibt viele
Songs, über die gescheiterte Liebe und die Kämpfe des einfachen Volkes, alle vorgetragen mit Grusheckys warmer,
abgenutzter Stimme über einer Barraum-Mischung aus bluesbasiertem traditionellem Rock.
Genau das macht American Babylon zu einem angenehmen Hörerlebnis für Fans von Mellencamp, Seger und vor
allem Springsteen. - .. BABYLON / 25TH ANNIVERSARY25th Anniversary Deluxe Vinyl 2LP Reissue with Live Bonus Tracks! Joe Grushecky and his band had been a club fixture in the Northeast for nearly 25 years when they released American Babylon in 1995. The Pittsburgh band had proven themselves to be the consummate bar band with occasional flirtations with national success. American Babylon found them teaming up with Bruce Springsteen, who handles production, plays on several tracks, and wrote two songs for the album. This 25th anniversary deluxe vinyl 2LP reissue also includes bonus live tracks from the Houserockers' legendary October Assault Tour recorded at an enthusiastic hometown show that same year."American Babylon (25th Anniversary Edition 2LP)" is a special double-vinyl celebration of one of the most powerful records by Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers. Produced in close collaboration with rock legend Bruce Springsteen in its original era, "American Babylon" has long been cherished by roots-rock fans for its blend of gritty heartland rock, blue-collar storytelling and memorable guitar work. This 25th Anniversary Edition on 2LP offers expanded room for the music to breathe, with rich, warm analog sound that lets the raw vocals, driving rhythm section and chiming guitars shine in full detail. The album's songs move between hard-charging barroom rockers and reflective, socially aware ballads that paint vivid pictures of everyday American life, working-class struggles and enduring hope. Pressed across two high-quality LPs, this edition is tailored for collectors and vinyl devotees who value both sound quality and a substantial, album-oriented listening experience. The gatefold-style presentation (where supplied by the label) underlines the anniversary character and makes the record a centerpiece in any serious rock collection.
