Bonus Cover Me post today, since I totally had a brainfart and mis-attributed Greg Kin’s live cover of “Rendezvous<\/a>” to John Eddie earlier. (That post has since been retracted, redirected, and merged with my post from last year about Kihn’s version of that song. My apologies–once in a while, the daily blog deadline combined with my day job get the better of me!)<\/p>\n

I’m a sucker for covers of obscure Springsteen songs, and they don’t come much more obscure than “The Big Payback<\/a>,” the B-side of an under-the-radar single, re-issued on a bonus disc of a limited-edition compilation.<\/p>\n

But it’s a great song, and Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper did a terrific cover of it back in 1985, even if it’s just a\u00a0bit<\/em> over the top given the subject matter.<\/p>\n
