Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes really benefitted from their association with Bruce Springsteen and future members of the 'E' Street band.

The big challenge for the Jukes was not getting lost in Springsteen's shadow, Bruse would perform with them from time to time and actually wrote some of their songs for their early albums.

"Miami Steve" Van Zandt one of the future 'E' Street members co-founded the Jukes.

Their catalog is pretty extensive they have 17 albums, both studio and live stem from 1976 to 2010. Bon Jovi credits the band as an influence and toured with the band in the 90's.

Their essential album 'Heart of Stone' is available on CD, MP3 and Vinyl.

Watch The Jukes with Bruce Springsteen perform "Havin' A Party" from 1978.
