Spare Parts: You Can Look…
A few more souvenirs from my trip back east.
Spare Parts: Blogger About Town
I know, I know–another vacation. But this one’s short, and I brought you back something!
Cover Me, Katee Cross: Tougher Than the Rest
Katie Cross brightens up Bruce’s world-weary love song, and it’s just as wonderfully romantic.
Cover Me: Get Out of My Life, Woman
One time only: The Castiles put their own spin on Lee Dorsey’s 1965 R&B hit.
MatR: The Matt O'Ree Band and Bruce Springsteen: Black Boots
If you’d like Bruce Springsteen to sing on your album, it helps to have an in. Just ask his son’s guitar teacher.
Cover Me, Lorenzo Bertocchini: Linda, Let Me Be The One
From his wonderful 2009 tribute album Hearts of Stone, check out Lorenzo Bertocchini’s beautiful arrangement of Bruce’s very, very deep cut.
Roll of the Dice: Streets of Fire

Guest-blogger Barry Rebo shares his unique recollections from one of Bruce’s most well-known shows.
Two Faces: Western Stars

MatR: Joe Ely and Bruce Springsteen: I'm a Thousand Miles From Home
It’s the opening track that gets all the attention, but Bruce’s contribution to the closing track of Joe Ely’s 1995 album is just as worthy.
