I've followed Aoife's music for a LONG time. This is the one that grabs me by the throat. She's a really good songwriter, but this album is legendary.
This is just magical. Aoife's interpretation of one of the greatest albums of all time is a gift to all of us.

thanks for this
Aoife's voice is so extraordinarily beautiful, a listener could be forgiven for not realizing just how good her guitar playing is - and it really is exceptionally good. What a joy!
You have done justice to one of the great albums of all time, bravo
Springstein's lyrics on Nebraska are some of the best, most literary lyrics compiled on any album. As a lower-class Jersey kid of roughly the same vintage as Springsteen, I'm amazed that someone from a provincial south Jersey town was able to inhabit and recount the dark stories of the downtrodden and quintessentially American characters that haunt these songs. It's evident from her performance that Aoife has the same reverence for the cinematic quality of Springsteen’s Nebraska songs. I'm always curious what musicians can bring to performing a cover. Aoife delivers the goods covering this extraordinary album released some 38 years ago.
Is there some reason a person from South Jersey can't be a good poet?
@@WriterMikeMonson Oops. My regrets for leaving you with an unintended impression. I guess what's remarkable is that few people who hail from a modestly privileged social milieu (be it Freehold, Kankakee, or Two Dot, Montana), can rise above provincialism to recognize and express powerful universal truths like the best American poets.
Bob MacNeal ok, then, in the spirit of discussion rather than argument - are you saying that the majority of the best American poets are NOT from some “provincial” place? If so, what does that mean? What is an American place to be from that isn’t provincial? New York City? Chicago? Los Angeles or San Francisco? If so, then are all best American poets only from those places? I’ll do more research, but I don’t think so.
@@WriterMikeMonson Now that you mention it, maybe most of us come from a "provincial" place. As it happens, my favorite poet, Richard Hugo, rose out of a dirt poor depression era town south of Seattle. Perhaps a privileged upbringing isn't a leg up for poets. Freehold, NJ doesn't strike me as a hot bed for fledgling poets, but maybe such a place exists only in my imagination. I do tend to think of cities like SF as less "provincial" than say, Freehold, but those might be somewhat false narratives I've bought into because I want it to be so. I want to think that places like my idealized SF exist.
@@BobMacNeal Poets come from all over. How about Hibbing, Minnesota?
Brilliant! Thank you! I’m sure Bruce has seen and listened to this. If not, he should. Nebraska never sounded better.
Aoife's artistry is a gift to the world in a dark time.
Nebraska with a female voice emphasises the sensitivity of the big_muscled man,thanks Aoife,.great job X
In far off Edinburgh, I'm not short of kind, brilliant, inspiring musicians who are going to extraordinary lengths to uplift the locked down. Aoife is one of the treasures of this time. Thanks so much!!
my favorite bruce album...and a worthy interpretation
I just recently heard of Aoife through Garrison Keillor's weekly post. What a talent. Thank you, Aoife, for taking on such a landmark album.
I feel very fortunate to own a copy of this album. People like Aoife are so special. This performance is amazing. Thank you.
Nebraska was one of two or three cassettes I had in my old Toyota Corolla. After separation from my girl friend I travelled across the country, sleeping in the back of the Toyota, listening over and over to this songs
38:05 Love that smile at the end of Open All Night. Thanks Aoife!
One of my favourite albums and delivered superbly. Thanks Aoife!
She is wonderful. Great voice and technically on the guitar. Wonderful young talent.
Hi Aoife, das ist eine sehr, sehr gute Performance gewesen. Du bist eine echt klasse Singer/Songwriterin, mach bitte weiter, dein Gesang und das Gitarrenspiel besitzen so viel Tiefe und Ausdruck, es ist wundervoll Dir zu hören zu dürfen.
This is a great way to revisit a great album & hear the songs in a different register. Brilliant.
I'm wake up this morning Princess Aoife is singing Nebraska
This 🌹 for you
Thanks
Greetings from Lille, France
Well done! One of my favorite Springsteen albums! Outstanding!
This is a beautiful performance of a classic record
Outstanding, very moving and heartening, thank you so much for this Aoife. Did the material justice and I don't write that lightly.
1. Let’s not harm that warm feelings about this material and wonderful performance by responding to trolls. Best to ignore.
2. Aoife- I have so enjoyed your performances in these times. Thanks for your incredible work putting this great performance together.
All the way to the French-Spanish border - that gentle, precise, and discerning talent showing right through. Bravo and thank you Aoife.
Sweet. Honors and twists. Couldn't ask for anything more.
Nailing it all the way and hearing it all in a new way. ❤
Absolutely wonderful cover of an incredible album. Love this so much!
Outstanding. Album worthy.
Third time I've watched this. Just amazing.
The soulful journey this album takes you through is so appropriate in these times of challenge and unknown, I have heard many covers over the years and this is undoubtedly one of the best it has the heart of Bruce woven into it with a strong female vocalist with a unique voice and true talent thank you and please do more
Thank you Aoife! You picked me up from my blues today.
Once more, thank you very much. A true privilege listening to you. Greetings from Portugal
Fantastic. Bluegrass to Bruuuce and everything in between. Too cool.
She can do anything she puts her mind to.
Please release this LP. Cant stop listening...
Aoife, you inspire me to sing, to play and to write. Thank you!!
I loved that you chose to do this album and share it with us. The simple black and white video is perfect. As you say, the messages in these songs are as relevant today as ever - and will be a timeless treasure to pass on to our children. The most beautiful memories are poignant and simple. You make it so.
Wonderfully done, Aiofe! I've long thought this is Bruce's best record.
Aoife love it! I didn't think anybody liked this album but me. Thanks!
Not to worry, it’s certified platinum, hit # 3 on the Billboard album charts, ranked 150 in Rolling Stone’s greatest albums of all time, and is one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the rock era, as well as one of the most beloved by Springsteen’s fans. So, you don’t have to feel alone in your feelings anymore!
Your version of my fathers house 🙂..I'm a massive fan of bruce and this album holds a special place in my heart ..I love your music and I thankyou for sharing your truly wonderful interpretations of these great songs ..♥️
Wow, fantastic
Stupenda. Possa giungerti tutto il piacere che ho provato nell’ascoltarti. Grazie
Also one of my fav albums a joy to listen and watch
Ran across this today. Thanks for getting me through an otherwise mundane Monday afternoon.
Awesome! Just shared to a couple great Springsteen groups on FB.. Brucebook and Spring-Nuts, :)
Very nice rhythmc touch…great tunes
I just found you. What a beautiful voice. It sounds like how when someone is calm and comfortable in their own skin, but in voice. Youre calming and cool. Just amazing. Thank you for this.
Inspirational !
Well done. Thank you
Aoife and housemates, that was outstanding!! Thanks for providing great art to consume. I could go for listening to a cover of an album every week, perhaps alternating with weeks of original material. We may be stuck at home for much longer than we want and although this is not as good as hearing you live, it's much much better than not hearing you at all. Thank you for making my night.
every week? That’s a tall order for free entertainment.
@@bossHogOG I'm happy to pay. Musician's have to eat and pay rent too!!
Absolutely fab Aoife from your dads home county of Cork, the rebel county....
Aoife, Du hast eine Wahsinns Stimme, ich liebe deinen Gesang, Du bist eine echte Country Lady und dein sparsames Gitarrenspiel ist der Knaller. Du stimmst deine Gitarre zwischen fast jedem Song, sehr geil, ich mache das auch so, weil ich eine verstimmte Gitarre nicht mag. Bitte mach weiter mit deiner Kunst. See yaa Miss O Donovan
Holy crap! This is amazing!!!
Brooklyn (and the DW) love you!
Awesome! I can't believe I just found this.
Wow! just Wow! Thank you for this, much appreciated.
awesome. these songs are still timely and relevant. perhaps more now than ever - especially this week
