It's been a big winter for Bruce Springsteen, what with the new album, word of a reissued classic, a new Greatest Hits set, that Super Bowl gig this coming weekend, and then a tour with the E Street Band. It's become clear in the second half of this decade that Springsteen's influence has extended beyond the stadium rock mainstream, and that songwriters of all kinds have drawn inspiration from his music. Springsteen's label provided us with a few interesting videos that feature artists from a different generation talking about what his music means to them and then covering one of his songs. First up is Ted Leo, who has been playing "Dancing in the Dark" in his live set for several years. And then we have Brian Fallon from the Gaslight Anthem, whose 2008 album The '59 Sound fuses Springsteen-style rock'n'roll romanticism with terse punk rock. He talks about the role of the Boss' music in his life (not surprisingly, it's huge-- dude was born and raised in New Brunswick, N.J.) and then does a solo version of Born to Run's "Backstreets".Ted Leo: Interview Pitchfork.tv page with embed code is here.Ted Leo: "Dancing in the Dark" Pitchfork.tv page with embed code is here.Brian Fallon: Interview Pitchfork.tv page with embed code is here.Brian Fallon: "Backstreets" Pitchfork.tv page with embed code is here.
