In the midst of the great pandemic of 2020, acoustic folk band Originaire takes to the abandoned streets of Atlantic City to cover Bruce’s classic song.
Month: March 2020
Hidden away on the flip side of the handwritten lyrics for “Gloria’s Eyes” lurks a Springsteen original that still hasn’t seen the light of day.
“Western Stars” is Bruce’s magnum opus–a gorgeously cinematic, metatextual commentary on his life’s work and journey.
Daniele Tenca turned in a gloriously gritty cover of “Johnny 99” at a live performance in 2018. It’s now my all-time favorite arrangement of the song.
Lightning strikes twice: 10,000 Maniacs releases not one but two fantastic live covers of “Because the Night” — 23 years apart.
Finally: a rock arrangement of “Nebraska,” courtesy of Italian rockers Diego Mercuri and the Wrecking Band.
A themed benefit concert invite provided the spark for Bruce’s original talking blues. Take a listen and laugh along inside.
