Cover Me: Little Bit O' Soul
One time only: Bruce Springsteen covers one of rock’s most instantly recognizable songs: The Music Explosion’s “Little Bit O’ Soul.”
Roll of the Dice: Trouble River
Undeservedly obscure, “Trouble River” is a fun Human Touch-era soul rocker with deceptively dark lyrics and a long, terrific guitar solo from Bruce–this one needs more attention.
Cover Me, Richard Shindell: Born in the U.S.A.
Richard Shindell’s arrangement of “Born in the U.S.A.” highlights the anger and loss in the lyrics without sacrificing the melody. It’s a brilliant cover–take a listen inside.
