The glory days of the Avett Brothers
The Avett Brothers contributed recently to the marvelous series Hangin’ On E Street, where young rockers discuss Bruce’s influence on them and their music, and cover one of his songs. Wherever they piled all four of them to do this harmonica-laced cover (looks like backstage, or a warehouse), I want to be sitting right in the middle.
Glory Days (Springsteen cover) – The Avett Brothers
In addition to the current panorama of artists whose contributions are already live on the site (Gaslight Anthem, Ted Leo, Juliana Hatfield, etc), we can look forward to clips coming from Josh Ritter (maybe this one?), Pete Yorn (maybe this one?), and Birdmonster.
You know, I always thought this was a really sad song, and wondered how that gets overlooked.

Loving this series so much, but I suppose it really shouldn’t surprise me that so many of my favourite contemporary acts are so influenced by… one of my all-time favourite acts! Only five months til I finally see the man himself – can’t wait.

Dolph Ramseur (via avett message board) said it was recorded in a garage in Concord. Love it!

The Avett Bros. are opening for DMB when they come to Houston. I wish it was the other way around.

Josh, look for the arrow a bit further down in the post. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Brian Fallon’s cover of Backstreets kills me. Best of the bunch. He’s *so close* to this music.
