When Eddie “Kingfish” Manion chose a Springsteen song to cover on his 2015 album,\u00a0Nightlife<\/em>, he went deep, deep\u00a0<\/em>into the obscure recesses of Bruce’s catalog.<\/p>\n

That’s okay, though: if anyone’s entitled to claim a Springsteen rarity, it would be Manion, who not only toured extensively with Bruce as part of the E Street Horns, but also as a member of the Sessions Band, the Miami Horns, and the Horns of Love (not to mention his founding member status in the Asbury Jukes and Little Steven’s Disciples of Soul).<\/p>\n

All in all, Manion has performed with Bruce over 350 times across five decades, so yeah… he’s pretty familiar with Bruce’s catalog.<\/p>\n

On Nightlife, <\/em>not only does Eddie give us a superb instrumental cover of Bruce’s “City of Night<\/a>” (which even Bruce hasn’t performed live), he’s mashed it seamlessly with King Curtis’ “Soul Serenade” for a superb pairing.<\/p>\n
