Bill, that was absolutely fabulous! Right from the first sung note you nailed that in 100% authentic Springsteen style. Really enjoyed it, big smile all over my face because that's exactly what I imagined. On a 12 string too! So, how did you do it? What were the components, a backing track?

Well I have to say that Chris is absolutely right, Springsteen's voice suits you really well!
I know the song very well, since it's on the only album I have of BS (Born In The USA), you certainly did it justice, well done. Nice backing track.

What backing track? Living in Connecticut less than 100 miles from New Jersey, I just had the E Street Band sit in :laugh: :laugh: . Seriously, I had a blast doing this one. I had to use Song Surgeon to lower the backing track from Amaj to F#maj to suit my range.The project was made more fun by knowing that I was doing it on request. Who knows, I might try another song of his. Just have to find the right one.
Thanks again,
Bill

Bill you sang that very well!!
I fully agree with the others and Chris was perfectly right to ask you to do a Springsteen song.
It suits your voice like a glove....
Keep 'm coming

That was a great cover on a great old tune. I love to play Downbound Train, but my voice is not as polished as yours..
I have also been working on Atlantic City, but that is still in a very rough stage. I imagine you would do both of those tunes justice.
Thanks for sharing this one with us.
