7. Prodigal Son
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnWgW1-7ABQ Another sprawling, lengthy song from the Greetings/Wild and Innocent era, Prodigal Son is Springsteen singing solo and with only the aide of an acoustic guitar. The only known studio version of the song was recorded sometime in 1972. It has never, as far as records tell, been played live. Prodigal Son was the name chosen for a briefly-legal Springsteen bootleg double album that was released by British company Dare International in the early 1990s.
