Where I grew up , we call the kind of music on Playlist: The Very Best of Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes "beach music." It has strong, soulful vocals, lots of horns, and a beat you can dance to. Here, in the press release, they call it the original "Sound of the Jersey Shore." Same thing.

The 808 laced drums crack and pop as if they're frying under the hot Texas summer sun.
