    I like yours much better.

    And dammit if there isn't more to Bruce Springsteen than I imagined...

    Yeah... it's a really good version of that song. Kept me going through some long runs.

    Nothing to do with Springsteen, but I saw John Butler play this live. Good stuff.

    As someone struggling to change between three basic chords on a 6 string, that's absolutely sickening. lol

    Amazing though. I downloaded a few songs from him years ago after hearing "Used to Get High" during a documentary (a studio version of this one, IIRC, among them), listened repeatedly, then he dropped off my radar. Always meant to circle back to him.

    Thanks.

    Odd... comparing a family band that performs at county fairs, bluegrass music festivals and Christian festivals to Allison Krauss and Union Station? First, I think they would likely be complimented that you even mention them in the same sentence. Second, its is a beautiful cover of the song. But musical tastes can vary and as they say, opinions are like...

    Not better than the original but these Filipino brothers sure came real close. Close your eyes and the oldest brother sounds like Mark Knoffler's voice and guitar.

    Some people don't understand the title of this thread. Cover songs that are better than the original. Not, "covers that are beautiful".

    I assume by posting the video in a thread with this title, they are making the claim that it is better than Keith Whitley (or perhaps Allison Krauss).
