I was browsing through you tube’s Bruce Springsteen vids yesterday,where I heard this song for the first time and was blown away.I know I couldn’t possibly match the talents of the boss but I had to cover this song.With no multi track recording equipment I had to do improvised picking instead of a guitar solo.When I’ve been playing this song a bit longer I’ll upload a better version.

    No I haven’t done an acoustic version but I sure this version would work acoustic.

    O.M.G! Your cover version has almost reduced me to tears (in a good way). You really have an amazing talent & i can see that you felt the emotion in this song.
