With July 4th soon upon us, I thought it appropriate to put together a compilation of Bruce Springsteen covers. After all, for folks of a certain age, he embodies a certain kind of ragged, authentic Americana. In the spirit of comity with our neighbors to the North, I thought it only fair to also put together a compilation of Fred Eaglesmith covers as he seems to embody a similar version of Canadiana, if you will. In doing so, I owe a debt of gratitude to blog reader KevinPat who sent me a great bunch of Fred Eaglesmith covers that make up the majority of the compilation. Some Boss Covers

Both comps look fantastic, but the downloads don't work, I get to FileFactory but can't start d/l. Will try another browser later...
Worked fine with Safari (on Mac), but FileFactory download fails with Chrome browser.
Thanks for this stuff!!

I don't know if you see comments on four year old posts, so I'm trying again here. Your June 21, 2012 upload of Chris Gaffney and the Cold Hard Facts is no longer any good. I've been searching for that one for years, still not in print. Can you re-up it?
Thanks
Farbror and Anonymous,
Sorry about the filefactory problems, but if you click on the wrong image you may download malware.
@Anonymous,
Just re-upped it.
Thank you so much for the Chris Gaffney re-up! Finally got it after all these years!
Thank you for these and all the other wonderful music you've shared.
I think you can find some Gaffney stuff on this blog:
