AMG Review of Jersey Boy

Charlotte Dillon
All Music Guide

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Eddie Rabbitt completed this notable album in the spring of 1990. Country music lovers had no idea at the time that they only had a short eight years left to spend with him. At least the songs he recorded during his more than two-decade long career are here for the enjoying. Jersey Boy carries ten country tracks by this great artist. One of the songs, "American Boy," found its way into the hearts of many American soldiers and their families during the Gulf War. Other tunes on the album that Eddie Rabbitt fans might especially enjoy are "Only One Love in My Life," "Feel Like a Stranger," and "Tennessee Born and Bred."
