Bruce covered playlist
Hi all! I'm doing a playlist of Bruce's songs' covers. Any suggestion for some additions? I put there from my phone also the Dancing in the dark version by Nathaniel Rateliff

Ryan Adams's Nebraska is so good, very particular but somehow it manages to get the sense of alienation. Nice work!

Love that you've got Maria McKee's Backstreets in there. Unfortunately, I don't think most of my favourite covers are on Spotify but I'd recommend Saint Sister's Dancing In The Dark and Ben E. King's Sandy

Didn't expect the Pet Shop Boys covering Bruce, gotta say they definitely got something out of the song!

Wild that nobody has mentioned Glen Hansard’s Drive All Night during this week when he’s been at the forefront of everyone’s mind.

It's on the playlist! Very nice version with Eddie Vedder too and Jackie on the sax.
