This cover is GREAT.
-
I think the piano intro has a nice touch. Good cover!
-
As much as I love Bruce and The Hold Steady I can't say I love it more The Band's version
-
while i love the Nebraska album i can't wait for the full band version of it to get released. Steve van Zandt mentioned they recorded it back in the day...
-
I've got to say, they ruined the song with the ending. It just became too Look At Me, I'm Trying Too Hard with the last verse and chorus.
-
my money on after hearing this Clarence was proud as shit. the sax is outstanding.

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

I've been listening to this version, and the Springsteen version non-stop since I last posted 3 weeks, and I got to say...this is one of the best covers I've heard. I'm sorry, this is better than the Bruce version. The sax is amazing. Second place, Bruce, third place, The Band version.
-
The first time I listened to this, I gotta say, I hated it. On second viewing, it's really good. Damn near transcendent. Still doesn't beat Springsteen's version for me, but DAMN.
-
This does everything a good cover should do - it respects the original song but adds something new at the same time. The moment where the sax kicks in is just electric.
