Once hyped as the urban alternative to Bruce Springsteen, The Boss made a surprise appearance with Jeffreys and others Saturday night at the Light of Day Parkinson's benefit show in Asbury Park, NJ. His 2011 album, 'The King of In Between," his frist in 13 years, was on several Best of the Year lists.
