Garland Jeffreys - Wild In The Street
Review by Franck Valade
Wild In The Street, the 1973 album by Garland Jeffreys, is a powerful and socially conscious work that still resonates today. With its blend of rock, reggae, and soul, the album delivers a message of hope and resistance that is as urgent now as it was when it was first released.
Jeffreys' voice is a force to be reckoned with, full of passion and intensity. The album's title track, "Wild In The Street," is a protest anthem that speaks to the frustration and anger of the times. Other standout tracks include "New York Skyline," a tribute to the city that never sleeps, and "35 Millimeter Dreams," a soulful ballad about the power of cinema.

The music and imagery from my first experience in New York City. We knew this tune in Cleveland, OH, too! Thanks Garland Jeffreys!
original more than cool..............viva la punk rock......................................
This never charted, but some of the classics never did, and this IS a CLASSIC! Happy 79th a few days late, Mr. Jeffreys, and many more! Posting 7-9-22.
Thanks so much for this! Already loved the song 2 death, but really dug the video!
This is indeed a great song!!!
Max Payne 3 very good song
For some reason, I was thinking about Garland Jeffreys the other day. I remember the song R O C K that came out in the early 80's. He also did a version of 96 tears. I haven't heard anything about him in years, wondered what happened to him. Never knew much about him, just that I liked those songs he did. I decided to look it up on the web. Come to find out that he and I have the same birthday, just different years. Small world!
whoa, i had no idea all those folks played on this record. our mutual pal Chuck Prophet got me thinking of this tune this week.
A Lincoln alumni......He's so darn good and a nice person too....
Max Payne 3 anyone ?
Great song & video.
Thank you, Mr. Jeffreys, for following your own muse and giving us a song that shows us mere mortals what "going hard" really means. You don't use one profanity ("transvestites" is NOT profanity) and gave us a song meaner and nastier than any rap song in the 2000's. I won't rest until everyone that listens fondly to Rock music knows your name.
I've been trying to remember all the great hits from the golden age of progressive FM radio (WBCN in Boston, e.g.) that never made the Billboard Top 40. There's no list of these available that I know of (although I'm pretty sure that airplay charts existed at the time). I just remembered this one today and confirmed my memory that it's an inner-circle of the inner-circle classic. It pulls off the rare trick of having the chorus be essentially the same music as the verse about as well as it's ever been done (cf. "Cinderella" by the Sonics and "When My Baby's Beside Me" by Big Star). And the groove is amazing.
I did not realize the was Mac Rebennack's band - though we do understand heat in the Dirty Crescent . My dream appearance would be you doing Wild on the Street with Preservation Hall Band during the August 8 gig in this NY heat . Will try to put a bug in Ben Jaffe's ear . Bless you , GJ .
God I am so happy I found this video---this is one if my all-time favorites. I listened to the shit out of this album in high school!
Jamie Foy !!!
Is this the 1968 movie's version of that song?
I grew up in rural America. The news reported on the goings on in the major cities, but it was Garland Jeffreys who made it real to me. Happy 75th birthday, Garland Jeffreys! You still rock! Thank you for this, and all of your music.
This is spine soul control. Real shit without a payroll.
I also grew on on the Circle Jerks version, and just discovered that you did the original......I cant get enough of this song!!! The video is so damn cool too!!!!
sigh, i miss the get down
Grew up on the circle jerks version as well...Jamie Foys skate video made me realize that version was a cover of a great song
Jamie foy spitfire
The Circle Jerks led me here:).
