    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.

      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.
