Well-known artist and album
-
Springsteen - Born to Run

No - not from Jersey. This artist comes from a soulful place a bit South and West of there.
-
...in Pennsylvania...
-
....released in 1972....

This is the third 'solo'album released by this artist. Indeed, he was closer to a solo artist than most.
One of the more popular songs on this album was a re-make of a recording done by a band of which he was once a member. The artist cited Carol King as an influence for some of the other songs on this work.

If this clue doesn't help, I give up.

Oops - I guess it's my turn!
Cats, dogs, Salvador Dali, a pink bird, the destruction of the Chrysler Building, and one cool jerk lend an international flavor and feel to this album. .
-
You must be a big Todd Rundgren fan, Karn! This one would be "A Wizard, A True Star."
-
That was too quick!
I was listening to the CD when I posted it. ;D

How about this one...a child hits it big and becomes famous, but ends up getting hung upside down while bow hunting. What a sad memory.

Hank, for no reason other than being high on big medicine and the king of beers, got himself a taboo idea. With his new picture of the future in his mind he raced out the backdoor of the junkyard to head off to sin city and get back his girl Marie. In the process he accidentally hit a man.
-
So many guesses, so little time.

No. This band came out a decade or so after Croce left us.

For all you google experts, some judicious entering of words from my sample should get you home.

You are correct. Nice work!!!
Your turn to post the next one.

To find album and artists, obese Chief must eat when confused - and Ken's fooling around!
-
A clue please, kind sir.
-
Oops, I forgot about this.
It was perhaps unfair to give a crossword-type clue without the enumeration, so let's put that right.
To find album and artists, obese Chief must eat when confused - and Ken's fooling around! (7,2,3,5 and 5,2,4)
Alternatively, if crosswords are not your thing, then pack your trunk and head for Arizona.
And if that doesn't do this: (http://i.imgur.com/2WV1y.gif)
...then maybe it will do this: (http://i.imgur.com/twxbl.jpg)

Kings of Leon--Because of the Times
-
That's the one. Not sure why I chose that - I don't even like it that much. It just happened to be on the shelf when I looked around for something to post. ;D
I think that makes it your turn for the next one. :)
