Rockabilly punk-turned-country band The Mavericks covered Bruce’s “All That Heaven Will Allow” as the fifth single from their 1994 album. Take a listen and watch a great live performance inside.
Never performed but occasionally soundchecked, Bruce was clearly taken with The Searchers’ “Needles and Pins” during the Born to Run tour.
“Talk to Me” took a strange and winding path from the studio to vinyl to the E Street stage, but it’s guaranteed to make us laugh anytime Bruce pulls it out. But let’s not think too hard about the lyrics.
It’s a veritable lovefest every time Bruce joins U2 on their iconic anthem, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”
Sandra Stephens and Lanny Cordola’s simmering, smoky, wonderful cover of “Adam Raised a Cain” dials back the fury and dials up the foreboding. One of my favorite Springsteen covers without question.
Inspired by the legendary collaborations at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concerts, Ray Davies kicked off his album of revitalized Kinks songs with “Better Things” as a duet with Bruce.
Now here’s a true rarity: Bruce Springsteen backing Patti Smith on piano, gamely trying to keep up with her as she improvs her way through one of her earliest poems.
Recycled melange or original organ donor? Either way, “American Beauty” ranks among the best songs of Bruce’s Magic period.
KT Tunstall and the Buena Vista Social Club bring out the sexy in their 2009 cover of “Because the Night.”
Less than three months after it exploded onto the American rock scene, Bruce’s high school band opened their show with a passionate cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze.” Listen to a 17-year-old Bruce Springsteen tear it up inside.
