“Kitty's Back” by Bruce Springsteen

"Kitty's Back" is the loose, rowdy heart of The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, Bruce Springsteen's 1973 album, and it swings more like a jazz combo on a hot night than a rock band. Springsteen arranged it, sang it and played guitar, but the band gets the spotlight: Clarence Clemons' saxophone honks and struts, David Sancious takes an organ solo that runs wild over the groove, Danny Federici adds more organ, and Garry Tallent on bass and Vini Lopez on drums keep the rhythm cooking. Mike Appel and Jim Cretecos produced. It plays like a song that turns into a jam session, with players who sound like they don't want to stop.
