Hi guys and girls
I always loved this song,the lyrics are brilliant.
I used my Michael Kelly acoustic and my harmonica and that's it.
second take as I was just at the end of the 1st one and my little dog decided to take a walk along the laminate flooring toward me and the mic picked it up lol.
Hope you like it.
Please note this is a tribute to the artist and the construction of the song for songcrafting purposes and not intended for any monetary gain

What a great performance Kenny. A great take on a great song.
I saw Bruce in Croke Park Dublin this year and he was really amazing. I never really took much notice of him down through the years but seeing him live really opened my eyes. He is a truly great performer.
Great singing and playing and no mean harp playing.

One of the first Springsteen songs I heard.
A sensitive and intimate version, superb.

This is a really beautiful version of a great Bruce song.
I love the guitar, your voice is really spot on and the harmonica tops it off.
Great work.

Great all-round performance Kenny. You engaged me in the song in a way I never was with the Springsteen version.

I thought I commented on this already. I never listened to Springsteen much, but his live shows are full of energy. Great performance, acoustic sounds real good and nice harmonica Kenny.

This is a very heartfelt, intimate performance. You've sold this song so well. It's all there, man. I'm throwing some cash in the tip jar.
This tune is going on the list for us to learn for a future gig. Thank you.
