Daniele Tenca hails from Italy, but he shouldn’t be a stranger to Springsteen fans–he’s made multiple Light of Day appearances, played The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, and recorded a few outstanding Springsteen covers.<\/p>\n
In fact, Tenca recorded an absolutely smoking cover of “Factory<\/a>” back in 2010, and I was all set to blog about it later this month.<\/p>\n But a few days ago, this stop-the-presses gem from 2018 showed up on YouTube, and now that “Factory” cover is going to have to wait a while–because I can’t stop listening\u00a0 to Tenca’s absolutely fantastic cover of “Johnny 99<\/a>.” It’s easily my all-time favorite arrangement of the song, and that includes Bruce’s own.<\/p>\n
