Ich weiss nicht, wer von Euch die kanadische Band "Cowboy Junkies" kennt. Ich mag ihre Musik jedenfalls sehr und habe sie 2001 auch einmal live gesehen - damals haben sie als Zugabe übrigens eine hervorragende Coverversion von "Thunder Road" gespielt.
Jetzt gibt's ein neues Album, auf dem gleich zwei Springsteen-Songs zu finden sind (siehe:

Hier steht auch, was die Band selbst zu den beiden Songs zu sagen hat:
Zitat:
Brothers Under The Bridge (Bruce Springsteen): Margo and I saw Springsteen during the Tom Joad tour. He was playing solo acoustic at Massey Hall in Toronto. It was a stunning performance, a night filled with memorable, inspiring moments. He played this song, which hadn't been released at the time and it has always stuck with me. I love the way that the lyric just ends without warning…much like the way the lives of veterans sometimes "end" without warning….the battle that rages on inside can be so much more difficult to survive. I'm sure we'll be hearing plenty of stories about a whole new generation of brothers-under-bridges in the coming years.
You're Missing (Bruce Springsteen): Is there a more beautiful, delicate, pointed song about loss? Maybe, but I can't think of one…..
