One of Springsteen's hardest rocking songs. The guitars sound like buzzsaws cutting through all the b.s. of rock and roll and getting to the truth. The mandolin in the mix is a nice touch and the harmonica solo rocks.
I love the picture of him staring at the woman's chest. But I think the reason why his mouth is open cause he is trying to concentrate on figuring out where her breasts are?
I wish Social Distortion would cover this on their upcoming album...yes I LOVE Bruce but I think this one song sounds like a Social Distortion song (as in tailor-made). Bruce loves them and Mike, they are friends it would be PERFECT!
agh
I'm trying to reach management somewhere with this idea, agh....
Comparisons are for insecure a**h*les. If those posting negative comments about the Boss gave a happy damn about J.C., you would go find a J.C. video and post your remarks. Petty, small minded, mean spirited people who feel compelled to assert "my" opinion is superior to another's practically scream "I am a sad, pathetic, needy neurotic whose opinion of myself is the opinion of the last person I talked to." Seek counseling or take your meds as prescribed. If you want affirmation call your Mommy!
I like the original from sprngsteen but I have to say the song has in my eyes a much deeper feeling sung by johnny cash though i like this one also very much but cash is just with so much feeling in it
Please..., if we can learn to do one thing on You Tube it should be that we learn to respect the original artists. Too many young people go around thinking there are all these famous songs that nobody has written waiting for somebody to do "versions" of them. This is not a "version". This is Bruce Springsteen singing his own song his way and that makes it "THE ORIGINAL". The writer sings "the original" others sing "versions"...ok.
In fact, almost every song in Johnny Cash's "American recordings" series is covers, or rather truibutes to artists and songwriters he's found of. I guess the artists who got covered by Cash sees it as a great honor.
im a huge fan of both men, it is bruce's song, but as uglymoon says, with the timing and period of life mr cash was at , it seemed more fitting, i feel bruce is right up there with the greats of this country, cut from the cloth of woody guthrie and early american folk singers
Give the song a chance. I've listened to the Cash-Version first, and when i listened to bruce it sounded unfamiliar. But now, after having gone through some mixed feelings, i do like them both in their unique way.
I agree - both versions are powerful. Cash's version is perhaps more sinister, because of his age and physical frailty - with him it takes on more of a transcendental after-life meaning.
At more than 50 years old, Bruce Springsteen can still rock hard. Proof with this gem!

I love Bruce and have near 200 CDs of him and am also a big Social D. fan and think this always sounded like them.
It's also my favorite song on The Rising...
Johnny Cash covered it too so the whole thing seems so RIGHT....

Epic beyond description. Amen Boss.
And only someone like The Man in Black, Johnny Cash, could possibly do this thing justice as a cover.

i heard the Johnny Cash version of
this, and it is so much more better,
just because Cash puts so much emotion
into it, and makes it his own. although
this version is really powerfull, i had no
idea Bruce had such a strong voice!!
great song.
