“Many Rivers to Cross” may not be Bruce’s most well-known Jimmy Cliff cover, but it may be his most faithful.
One of many great songs Bruce gave away, “Your Love” is the missing link in a story that begins with “Little White Lies” and ends with “My Love Will Not Let You Down.”

Bruce’s quiet, introspective title track for Tim Robbins’ award-winning film earned him his second Oscar nomination.
Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris hit a home run with their world-weary take on “Dry Lightning.”
Bruce and Jackson Browne team up to cover “Stay” by The Zodiacs at the 1979 MUSE concerts. Along with the other tracks from that show, it’s Bruce’s first live appearance on record.
