Cover Me

This album, Cover Me, is a compilation of songs written by Bruce Springsteen but performed by various musicians. The idea behind this collection is to showcase the breadth of his work, including both well-known versions and lesser-known renditions of his compositions. It was originally released on vinyl in 1986, and later had a CD reissue in 1989, which included two additional songs performed by Greg Kihn. In this CD version, one of the tracks was changed: The Pointer Sisters' version of "Fire" replaced the one recorded by Robert Gordon. The recording of the songs spans an extensive period, from 1975 to 1986, and the predominant genre is rock.

About the album

Cover Me, according to DoReSol

The tracklist is quite extensive, featuring 26 songs in total. Among the most recognizable tracks on this album are Born in the U.S.A., Badlands, Glory Days, and Dancing in the Dark. Other significant pieces are also included, such as Atlantic City, The River, and Thunder Road, which demonstrate the variety of styles and themes that Springsteen has explored throughout his career. The record label behind this compilation is Rhino, and the total duration varies between the vinyl and CD versions, with the latter being longer.

These types of compilations, released by labels like Rhino Entertainment, allow us to appreciate how different artists approach the material of the same songwriter. The album, classified as a rock album and a compilation, was released in the context of the eighties, with the first editions in 1986 and subsequent ones in 1989.
