In yet another piece of Bruce Springsteen-related news, The Hold Steady (a band that has made no attempt to hide their love of the Boss) have covered Springsteen's "Atlantic City" (off of Nebraska) for the upcoming War Child compilation. The Hold Steady's take is a bit more bar band-esque (big horns, a lot of shouting), where Springsteen's is pretty low-key. Overall, Hold Steady make sure to be faithful to Springsteen's vision-- their love of the source material is really obvious here.
War Child is due out on February 17. [via Stereogum]
