Hold Steady Cover Bruce

This song is off the fairly lukewarm (but good cause) War Child comp Heroes. And while the compilation is a bit unimpressive, this song is truly a standout. Really great. The band puts a bit of punk urgency on the Boss' classic "Atlantic City," as well as replace Bruce's harmonica with huge horns. And the tone on the guitar in the horn/guitar duel (at the 2:47 mark) is just beautiful.
