The '59 Sound - Gaslight Anthem

The '59 Sound - Gaslight Anthem
3:10
The '59 Sound, 2008
Written by Brian Fallon, Alex Rosamilia, Alex Levine, and Benny Horowitz

These guys are the last bastion of heartland rock music forged by the 1950s and the Boss.  (Well, maybe the Hold Steady, too.)  This title track is a tribute to a friend who died too young in a car accident.  It's simple, it's raw, it's true, it has power.  This is the sort of rock music a man would play.  This song and its album were almost universally acclaimed when it came out.  Where was I?  Being ignorant of the greatness.
