1976 studio album by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes
I Don't Want to Go Home was the first album by New Jersey rock/R&B band Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes . The work helped establish the basis of the Jersey Shore sound . It was produced and arranged by manager Steven Van Zandt , who also sang, played guitar, wrote the title song, and elicited the contribution of two compositions by Bruce Springsteen , who also wrote the liner notes.
The album features two perennial standards for the band, Steve Van Zandt's "I Don't Want to Go Home" and "The Fever " by Bruce Springsteen . There were a number of guest artists and duets, a tradition that continued in their next album, This Time It's for Real . The track "How Come You Treat Me So Bad" features a duet with Lee Dorsey , while "Broke Down Piece of Man" features a duet with Steven Van Zandt , "It Ain't the Meat (It's the Motion)" features a duet with Kenny 'Popeye' Pentifallo, and finally "You Mean So Much To Me" features a duet with Ronnie Spector .
