Various Artists - Eddie & Cruisers (Original Soundtrack) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The soundtrack to the sequel for Eddie & the Cruisers follows the basic blueprint of John Cafferty's songs for the first film - they're all high-energy pounding three-chord rock & roll sounding a bit like Bruce Springsteen or Bob Seger. There may not be a song as good as 'The Dark Side ' but the music is still enjoyable for hardcore fans of the original. - Stephen Thomas ErlewineFull performer name John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band.
