The Bruce Springsteen Band delivers a swinging take on a blues classic.
Month: July 2018
Written less than three days after the passing of its inspiration, “Terry’s Song” is at once intensely personal and universal. It reminds us of the importance of truly knowing the people in our lives.
Vance Joy’s gorgeously shot and sung cover of “Dancing in the Dark” captures the frustration and isolation at the root of Bruce’s greatest hit.
“Many Rivers to Cross” may not be Bruce’s most well-known Jimmy Cliff cover, but it may be his most faithful.
One of many great songs Bruce gave away, “Your Love” is the missing link in a story that begins with “Little White Lies” and ends with “My Love Will Not Let You Down.”
Another dip into the amazing “Back in the U.S.A.” tribute album by Joan Osborne and The Waybacks–this time a slow burn of “Born in the U.S.A.”
Bruce’s quiet, introspective title track for Tim Robbins’ award-winning film earned him his second Oscar nomination.
Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris hit a home run with their world-weary take on “Dry Lightning.”
Bruce and Jackson Browne team up to cover “Stay” by The Zodiacs at the 1979 MUSE concerts. Along with the other tracks from that show, it’s Bruce’s first live appearance on record.
Jimmy LaFave’s cover of Bruce’s “Land of Hope and Dreams” is more tender than the original–less anthemic, but equally idealistic.
