I first heard about "The Jukes" in an album review by Steve Simels of Stereo Review Magazine and based on his comments, ran out and bought "I Don't Want To Go Home". It was great and made me a life-long fan. Then I saw "The Jukes" in person at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena (probably about in 1972-73) as the opening act for Boz Scaggs. At that time they were performing in pastel suits and hats!! Again, they were great! I've seen them every time they have been near Pittsburgh since then. Our kids (19 and 21) now always go with us also. We'll all be at Rosebud on May 24 enjoying another Jukes show!! Last year we saw them at Rosebud and at the Rib-Fest in the Heinz Field parking lot.

I am a recently retired high school chemistry teacher and frequently played Jukes music while my students worked in lab, along with Bruce Springsteen, Gary U.S. Bonds, Bob Dylan and others. It turned on many of my students to Jukes music over the years. 

I especially love all the albums/CDs that were produced and have songs written by Steven Van Zandt. He's an absolutely great songwriter and the music is perfect for the Jukes style!!
