I’ve featured Lorenzo Bertocchini’s Springsteen covers before, and I’ll almost certainly do so again. The challenge is narrowing the selection: Not only are his renditions both fresh and very well done, Lorenzo also dives deep–very <\/em>deep–into Bruce’s catalog.<\/p>\n

From deep cuts like “When You’re Alone<\/a>” to outtakes like his wonderful duet with Elizabeth Lee<\/a> on “Be True<\/a>” to unreleased gems like “Sugarland,” Lorenzo obviously has an encyclopedic appreciation of Bruce’s body of work.<\/p>\n

That knowledge is on dizzying display in Lorenzo’s original song\/shaggy dog story, “Hey Bruce,” which caps off his tribute album, Hearts of Stone<\/em>. I won’t say much about it other than: it’s clever, catchy, and warrants close attention, because at times the in-jokes and easter eggs fly by faster than I can count.<\/p>\n
