Summary
Sha-La Music has announced the release of On E Street Remix-The Album by US Roots Rocker DownTown Mystic, featuring drummer "Mighty" Max Weinberg and bassist Garry Tallent, the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section from Bruce Springsteen's legendary E Street Band. The album, distributed worldwide by The Orchard/Sony Music, drops on Black Friday, November 27, and serves as the follow-up to the April EP On E Street Remix, adding six new tracks to the original six. The project traces its origins to recordings made during the same period Weinberg and Tallent were shaping Springsteen's Born In The USA, offering a fresh perspective on that rock history.
DownTown Mystic writer/producer Robert Allen aimed to give the tracks a new sound and revisit a pivotal moment in his career. Along with engineer Joe DeMaio, Allen remixed the material at Shorefire Studios, where it was originally recorded. "The experience of playing with Max & Garry changed everything for me," Allen recalls. His goal was to strip away layers of guitars to reveal the foundational chemistry created by the E Streeters. The album includes the unreleased Sometimes Wrong (1983), remastered by Leon Zervos (Pink, Crowded House), a new acoustic remix of And You Know Why, and stripped-down versions of Hard Enough and Way To Know. Max and Garry recording together as the rhythm section for an artist other than Bruce Springsteen is a true rarity, making their performances here especially noteworthy.
2026 has been a strong year for DownTown Mystic, with the Hard Enough single in January, the On E Street Remix EP in April, the Mystic Highway Road Trip EP in July, and the current hit single Maybe Love's A Crime in October. All releases have earned critical raves and worldwide radio play. On E Street Remix-The Album brings the project full circle. As Robert has stated, "If you want to make a rock'n'roll statement then who better to do it with? I think E Street is probably the most famous street in rock'n'roll history." The album is available to stream via this link, and music videos for Hard Enough and And You Know Why can be viewed online. For more information, visit DownTown Mystic or Sha-La Music.
