My Take

I find Patti Scialfa one of the most quietly underrated figures in American rock. Yes, she married Bruce Springsteen, but reducing her to that connection misses the point: she earned her E Street Band chair in 1984 on the strength of her voice, and her harmonies became part of that band's emotional architecture. Her Jersey Shore roots and New York University training give her songwriting a blend of grit and craft I genuinely admire. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction with the band and the 2023 New Jersey Hall of Fame honor both feel overdue to me. I keep returning to her solo records; they deserve far more listeners.
