Even way back in the Steel Mill era, Bruce leavened his sets with occasional pop trifles like this one.
Month: March 2021
The only Born to Run outtake to earn an official release, “Linda Let Me Be The One” is a beautifully melodramatic hat tip to Phil Spector.
Did a surprising E Street through-line inspire Air Supply’s 1983 cover of Bruce’s 1973 classic?
This under-the-radar Born in the U.S.A. outtake is the darkest in Bruce’s “car crash song” mini-genre.
Auckland-based Tom Sutcliffe turns in a tender reading of Bruce’s signature song.
Bruce and Joe Grushecky wrote this under-the-radar song together in the summer of ’95; it keeps popping up in new forms ever since.
They played it live for at least a decade prior, but in 2019, Big Heard Todd and the Monsters teamed up with Blues Traveler’s John Popper on a terrifically fun (if overly faithful) cover of “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight).”
