VARIOUS – Dead Man’s Town: A Tribute to Born in the U.S.A. (10th Anniversary Edition) – LP – Tri-Colour Red, White & Blue Vinyl

LP – Limited 10th Anniversary Special Edition Tri-Colour Red, White and Blue Vinyl Pressing.

2024 marks the 40th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘Born In The U.S.A.‘. Although it would become his biggest selling album with seven top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, Luther Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars says “any of those songs could be played with acoustic guitar alone and still be great”.

Taking this idea as its premise, ‘Dead Man’s Town: A Tribute to Born in the USA‘ strips the album’s twelve indelible originals to the core, with contributions from Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires, Low, Nicole Atkins, Justin Townes Earle, Blitzen Trapper, Joe Pug, Trampled by Turtles, and more.
