Nancy's Record Collection (And Mine): An Occasional Feature

And speaking as we were last week of Bruce Springsteen gifting his songs to other artists, from 1982, please enjoy Gary U.S. Bonds and his irresistibly catchy version of Springsteen's blue collar plaint about being "Out of Work."

And by the way, I just discovered this.

Gary's 2020 home remake, taking into account the COVID crisis.

Freaking hilarious. I didn't know Gary had it in him. 😎

I didn't laugh out loud, but I'm still grinning.

Coincidentally, yesterday on terrestrial radio I heard his other gift from the Boss, "This Little Girl" and it sounded really good. Hadn't heard it in years. When it was on the charts my band took a stab at it.
