This week our host Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday has given us the prompt of Underrated Deep Album Cuts.

The goal this week is to profile a song that will include the prompt in the title or lyrics. Please consider carving out time to read the posts of other bloggers who responded to the Song Lyric Sunday challenge.

Suggestions for Song Lyric Sunday

Suggestions
• Try to use the prompt words or at least conform to a general theme, as you see it.  If the song you select does not meet the criteria, then please explain why you chose this song.
• It would be good if you could post the lyrics to the song of your choice, as this is helpful for the people that want to follow along with the music.
• Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due. It would also be a good idea to give credit to the singer and the band associated with your song.
• Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be, but please try not to include too many videos as that just makes it take longer to look at all of the other posts.
• Link to the YouTube video, or you can pull it into your post, so others can listen to the song.
• Ping back to this post or place your link in the comments section below.
• Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
• Feel free to suggest future prompts.
• Have fun and enjoy the music.

Defining a Deep Cut

Those non-singles on the album you love more than the hits. For music lovers of the 70’s like me there are many songs that fit this bill. If a song reached the top 10 on Billboard you can probably rule it out. My song comes off Bruce Springsteen‘s 1975 “Born to Run” Album.

Jungleland

Jungleland is my choice this week and it often the closing song of a live show featuring Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band. Early in the band career Springsteen and the E Street Band performed this live for over a year before they recorded it. Every time I listen to this song, I get goose bumps. Bruce wrote the song, and it includes fantastic piano work by Ray Bittan and a sax solo by Clarence Clemons you can’t forget.
