Album of the Month: Dead Man’s Town - A Tribute to Born in the U.S.A.

2014 marks the 30th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. Although it would become his biggest selling album with seven top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, Luther Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars says "any of those songs could be played with acoustic guitar alone and still be great." Taking this idea as its premise, Dead Man's Town: A Tribute to Born in the U.S.A. strips the album's 12 indelible originals to the core, with contributions from Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires, Low, Nicole Atkins, Justin Townes Earle, Blitzen Trapper, Joe Pug, Trampled by Turtles, and more.
