SOTD for Tuesday, January 10, 2012 John Eddie (born 1959, Richmond, Virginia) is an American folk rock singer. Eddie moved to New Jersey in the 1970s and became a popular club circuit musician there, occasionally performing with Bruce Springsteen.[1] Eddie signed with Columbia Records and released two albums, in 1986 and 1990. The 1986 single, "Jungle Boy" peaked on Billboard at #17 Rock and #52 Hot 100.[2] At the label's behest, his long-time band, the Front Street Runners, was replaced for the album by members of Springsteen's E Street Band.[3] He opened for Bob Seger and The Kinks in the late 1980s[1] but was dropped by the label early in the 1990s. He then signed with Elektra Records and recorded a third album, which, after a lengthy legal dispute, was never released.[1] Since then Eddie has recorded independently and toured extensively; his career saw a resurgence when he signed with Lost Highway Records for 2003's Who the Hell is John Eddie? - Wikipedia I heard this song on WMVY radio, found the chords and lyric on ultimate-guitar.com and covered it the same afternoon. It's what I do.
