    I love the squeaks of the fingers going up and down the strings. Not sure why, but I always think it adds another layer to acoustic performances. With that said, this is pure gold, guys. This song is hauntingly beautiful. Definitely on a short list of the most perfect songs. You guys absolutely nailed it. Such a great cover.

    Sooooooo Good! Your voice is silk as always and your fantastic mic management during the higher pitched "whoo hooo" parts at the end did not go unnoticed. Love to see you fingerpicking while Josh strums for a change. My favorite part of your cover was the smooth yet still punchy rhythm of it.... totally outstanding!

    Seeing you guys playing is like listening to a moving great poem... both in your covers and in your original songs. My favourite musicians, thank you, from Italy

    It's a good day when I pull up CZcams and see a video from you guys out there. I can't wait to see you all in person. Thanks for the music.

    I love this simple Springsteen song so much. It's good to see you guys pick up this kind of songs and create something totally new while keeping the spirit of the original version. Good stuff!

    Hey I'm in Brooklyn too! And I grew up hearing Bruce Springsteen, and surrounded by acoustic guitars, also! And you guys did this so spectacular!!!

    Wish I knew how we’ve gone from mixing studios the size of the Houston Mission Control to two dudes and one mic holed up in the guest bedroom, and still get audio as clean, as bright and as warm as this. OK, I concede we are dealing with exceptional raw material. Maybe that’s got something to do with it, haha. Carson’s covers are, as ever, on fire.

      Add to that: They only captured audio from a Zoom H2. No separate tracks for vocals & guitars. They are wonderful musos but whatever Josh does in post is also magic. I'd love to know how he manages to put the sound in our ears like that, so cleanly. Very professional from very little. It makes publishing accessible to so many more of us - if we only knew how!

    Now that was excellent...one of my favorite Springsteen songs and you did it max justice.
