    As a Bruce Springsteen fan for over 40 years, this cover of Atlantic City is one of the best I have ever heard. His own stuff is absolutely fantastic- a real genuine raw talent- something which has been missing for years. Sam Fender I hope you conquer the world.

      I'm kinda torn between a love for the band (especially deano) and his solo stuff like. I definitely prefer his solo stuff cos his voice isn't overpowered by the drums but maybe if he just keeps mixing it up between band and solo he will be onto a winner. A lot of people know he's got talent like. I hope he sees this comment eh Billy, son 😉

What a feeling going from getting wrecked and in the normal campsite, to headlining the same festival years later 😍

    This is my favorite Springsteen song, and this is by far the best cover I've seen. With respect to Levon Helm's various versions, as much as I loved his work, he missed something key about this song - Atlantic City is a song about giving up your last bit of integrity out of complete desperation. The tonality should reflect that. I suspect the Northeast of England where Sam Fender is from isn't dissimilar from this section of the Jersey Shore. It's a natural alignment between performer and subject matter. It's a bleak, spare song given a bleak, spare treatment. Great work.

    I love Sam Fender and his music. He's a genious, my favorite male singer.
    He's a real singer. His music conforts me when I'm alone.

    One of the the few artists that actually covers a Springsteen song well whilst also making it his own

    How did I miss this, Springsteen I've seen live and it was at St JAMES PARK in Newcastle where Sam hails from bloody hell. However they both have a way of conveying their emotions in lyrics and very powerful they are. After listening to Sam covering AVICCII Waiting for love and blown away Sam is one of those artists you are not going to see with some dolly bird on his arm you will see him with his band only I love him
