    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 listened to one of his songs Play God, and instantly recognised an influence from Ben Howard.

      If you like this check out Jamie T - Atlantic City cover, so different but also so Springsteen by another British artist.

      Not to take anything away from Sam, but as you're a Bruce fan, have a look at Carson McKee's cover of this.

      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 😍

    Saw Sam at the Ulster Hall Belfast tonight playing support to Jake Bugg, two guitars and a mic blew me away with his vocals! song writing and his performance-last song was on a keyboard and his voice resonated around the hall-echos of Jeff Buckley in the air!

    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.
