One time only: Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Vivino, and The Max Weinberg 7 rescue a lost Christmas classic from obscurity.
One time only: Bruce joins New Jersey reggae singer Jah Love for a game cover of Bob Marley’s beloved classic, “One Love,” in the summer of 1987.
Canadian folk singer Marc Jacobs finds the soul of Bruce’s “Dry Lightning” and turns in a beautiful cover on a gray Vancouver day.
Bruce Springsteen has covered Motown’s first big hit several times over the years, but only two club performances from the eighties were caught on tape. Take a listen to both inside.
One time only: Bruce Springsteen paid tribute to the recently departed George Harrison by performing Harrison’s greatest hit at Bruce’s first 2001 holiday show.
Bruce has grappled with feelings of isolation and alienation through song for decades, but “Loose Change” may be the most artful and hopeful example. Let’s take a close listen.
Brand new but instantly one of my top ten favorite Springsteen covers: take a listen to Danny Gone’s gorgeous rendition of “If I Should Fall Behind.”
Danny took the spotlight and Bruce earned his fastest-guitar-in-the east reputation when Steel Mill broke out Bruce’s original song, “Jeannie, I Want to Thank You.” Even if you’re not a Steel Mill fan, this one’s a must-listen.
Buried away on the bonus DVD that accompanied the original Seeger Sessions album release, Bruce’s arrangement of “How Can I Keep From Singing” was too beautiful to keep hidden away for long. Listen to beautiful choral performances inside.
