Ballad of Jesse James is one of the surviving tracks from the short-lived Bruce Springsteen Band, recorded a whole year before Bruce's first studio effort, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. Bruce has never played Ballad of Jess James live and more than likely never well. Which is a shame, because it's a cowboy epic even better than the underrated Outlaw Pete.
