Slaves of New Brunswick was an all-star group that included artists like Glen Burtnick, Tony Shanahan, Lenny Kaye, Steve Conte, Jim Babjak, Bernie Brauswetter, David Prater, Dusty Micale, Rocco Fury, Steve Jones, Dave Larue and many, many more. Often times, the lineup would change based on who was available that night.
They released one absolutely brilliant album. Glen Burtnick sings lead on most of the tracks. From the opening track, "Exit Number 9" to the epic closer, "Slave of New Brunswick" - it's an album that should be part of every Jersey music fan's collection... if you can find it.
