Track Description
Available in:
'Wild Billy's Circus Story' is the fourth track on his 1973 album The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle. The song was known under the title "Cirus Song" before it's release on the album.

'Wild Billy's Circus Story' was inspired by the Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus that visited Springsteen's hometown of Freehold, NJ, every summer. The song was written in mid-1972 as CIRCUS SONG, and according to "Brucebase", it was recorded for the Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. album. It was recorded again for The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle album under a new title, 'Wild Billy's Circus Story'.

The band line-up on this track is unknown, but as far as one can tell, Bruce Springsteen sings vocals and handles acoustic guitar, Danni Federici plays accordion, and Garry Tallent plays tuba which simulates an elephant trumpet. The track also has drums and harmonica, and possibly mandolin. The track, as well as the whole album, was recorded at Sound Studios in Blauvelt, NY and produced by Mike Appel and Jimmy Cretecos.
