People have already noted my feeling about the Du Tonic version-while not a huge departure from the original, too much going on in the mix.<br /><br />The Crozet version was pretty close to the original, begging the question "why bother?"but in fairness to the artist, this was such a big song for Springsteen that a wide departure would have probably drawn cries of sacrilege.<br /><br />Overall, the second version had more appeal for me than the first, but I am not joining the Crozet fan club anytime soon.<br /><br />LarryDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-56225685012012042002015-09-15T12:37:11.790-04:002015-09-15T12:37:11.790-04:00To be honest I didn't like either one of these...To be honest I didn't like either one of these!
