Cover Me, Pete Yorn: Your Own Worst Enemy
One of the best yet least-performed tracks on Magic gets some love from Pete Yorn, although I’m not sure he fully groks it.
Cover Me, Kenny Chesney: One Step Up
Kenny Chesney covered “One Step Up” on disc and on stage, but it’s his live performance that shines as brightly as Bruce’s original.
Cover Me, Helen Schneider: Hearts of Stone
Yes, that’s the actress who played Joann Carlino in Eddie and the Cruisers, taking a turn on Bruce’s torch song.
Cover Me, Nils Lofgren: Man at the Top
Nils Lofgren has performed “Man at the Top” live more often than Bruce has–it’s a song that clearly means a lot to him.
Roll of the Dice/Cover Me: We Shall Overcome
Bruce’s 1998 cover of “We Shall Overcome” helps keep this most potent of protest songs alive and fresh for a new generation.
Cover Me: 634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)
Whenever Bruce goes to Soulsville, U.S.A., there’s gonna be a party. Check out some great performances of this Stax classic.
Cover Me, Wainright Family, Emmylou Harris, Brandi Carlile, and more: Hungry Heart
In February 2017, the Cayamo festival-at-sea featured some terrific team-ups. Here’s one of them: “Hungry Heart” covered by the Wainright family, Emmylou Harris, Brandi Carlile, and more.
Meeting Across the River: Bruce Springsteen and the Asbury Park All-Star Revue, Got to Get You Off My Mind
When Southside Johnny took ill, Bruce, Steve, the E Street Band, and the Jukes came to the rescue. From May 1977, here’s one of Bruce’s only performances of the Solomon Burke classic.
Cover Me, John Wesley Harding: Jackson Cage
Available on three different album releases, John Wesley Harding’s cover of “Jackson Cage” deserves its repeated exposure. It’s one of the few Bruce covers I enjoy more than the original.
Cover Me, Pearl Jam: Open All Night
In honor of this week’s #TheHomeShows, here’s Pearl Jam’s scorching one-off cover of “Open All Night.”
