Springsteen should be honored. This guy is a legend on his own. Only Canadian to win blues challenge in Memphis Tennessee. Outplays his venues every time
He's a blues player. The only Canadian to win the blues challenge in Memphis Tennessee. Those old timers should be honored he's doing their cover. This is coming from someone who grew up with an old man who made us appreciate the classics. ACDC, Zeppelin, The Stones, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Dylan, the Band, the list is endless. You probably grew up in the music age. Kids of the late 80s and further grew up in the video then internet age. You had the best music we had the best videos. Music is so manufactured now it's the same 3 choruses, same 3 mins length, and same songs repeated over and over again. Take away the electronics and give em a mic and see how well their voice sounds. Matt Andwrsen is pure talent
@@TheMasterblaster32 damn man, blows my mind that people haven't heard Matt before. The number of times I've seen this guy live...makes me wonder what music I haven't discovered yet
eminem tried to tell the kids, he knows, it is the moment, JUST loose it, BTW i am closer to 50 then 40, I love all good music, when the musician lets their soul bare and lets me in to their love and communication.
My favorite example of this is the classical pianist Daniil Trifonov. Before he starts a piece his body relaxes and it looks like he becomes possessed. There is a recording where he plays all Op. 25 Etüden of Chopin in one sitting where you can see what I mean. And nobody plays those pieces better in my opinion. It sounds like his entire soul is captured in his playing.
I saw him perform about a year ago. He did a set with the New Brunswick Symphony Orchestra. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck and tears were running down my cheeks. He was that incredible. The only way I could describe his performance was that he CONSUMED the guitar. Strings were breaking and he still kept ripping the notes from it. PLEASE go see him if you get a chance.
I would consider myself pretty tough. I am a big Navajo/Cholo who has been around. I stumbled upon this song just barely and I hate to admit it, but I started to cry when I heard this. I don't know why. I have never really done that. I stopped what I was doing and listened. Tears just began to stream down. I was a little shocked. Great job man. You have a new fan.
That's the incredible power of music. I've heard this song a million times by many different artists, including myself, and also myself whilst jamming with other folks, and every single time it wets my cheeks and down my shirt.
Someone might not be that tough after all…but even the hardest need to let off some pressure at some point. Takes a real person to be open about it though. Perhaps youre tougher than you think.
Ye man ah’ a pa Huele……just when you think you’re the biggest and baddest…….something a gentle as a song can bring you to your knees. Strength is knowing our weakness and being able to know tenderness can become our strength.
Drop D Tuning Start - D - Bm7 - D (Repeat how ever many times you want) First 2 Verses - D - G - Bm7 - G - A - D (x2) Last 2 Verses - G - Bm7 - D - G - Bm7 - G - {A - D}-repeat 2X Fill in how ever you wish with cross-picking or strumming. It all sounds good on this song.
I’ve followed Matt since Stainers Warf, when he was grinding away in Halifax and the Maritimes. Its 2019 and I am sitting by the camp fire watching this video proudly. He is worth every penny if you get the chance to watch him live!
Yes agree true beauty really does come from the soul appealing to us on an emotional level, bringing tears in its presence; the physical pleasures seeming mute and shallow in comparison. Makes me think singing and music is a great gift to mankind to be experienced and felt. I love his voice, the range the emotion; he takes us on a different journey in each song.
Man your my most favorite ever im only 18 an have been listening to you since I was 9 I look up to you your my hero you deserve more respect than what you get big man
well never in a million years would i have thought anyone could make this song better than the original....but whew he took it and made it absolutely even more incredible! was already a fav song of mine, but now........wowwwwwwwww! wowwww! this man has such a huge career ahead of him!absolutely loved this far more than i could even begin to find words for! anybody that has not heard this man sure should!!
Saw him in Vancouver a few months ago and still can't get his voice and presence out of my mind. He owned that stage, every one is the audience came alive when he was performing - but he has an incredibly humble spirit and generosity. I was like "holy shit - who is this guy" - he is like a superhero, he's incognito, he is so many things it is hard to put into words...
Bro'....I gotta say. I absolutely hate Springstein like a pimple on a hemorrhoid but my God brother, you can sing!! That is absolutely haunting and you ARE the music! WOW!!! How are you not on the big screen bro??? I've never in my life seen or witnessed ANYBODY who was so much the entire thing....your pipes, your passion, your emotion, your music, your story, your song...YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR!!! A great friend of mine, Clint introduced me to your music a couple weeks back when he saw you in Kingston. My wife and I are definitely coming to see you next time Matt, you're a real treat to listen to, THANKS!
You Goooo Matt....Show them what us Atlantic Canadians can do. I remember the day i 1st saw you on Breakfast Television,,,i missed my drive to work cus i had to watch you....well worth it. BRAVO!!!!!!!
Been lucky enough to see this guy 3 times in my local vlllage hall here in north east Scotland only because his cousin lives here and he plays when he’s over from Canada or wherever he’s touring..... you have to see him play to experience how good he is. I’ve reluctantly dragged a few non blues fans with us on the last two occasions and watched their jaws hit the deck in awe . He’s so humble when you speak to him as well!
just came on to listen to Bruce sing this song. and what do you know. Here is Matt Andersen. I"m sitting in the house of the people that promote him. ... random... What a voice. This guy will be a true legend.
This is proof that the music and radio are crap today this guy should be all over the radio. I love finding jems like this I just wish I was there I can't even imagine the feeling and atmosphere to be there live...
SO wonderful to see 'that grin' on a musician's face.. when every note is just perfect and he knows he puts a spell on his audience! Not at all uncommon for Matt :)
@Max Joseph I have to disagree, sure he had hits such as Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run that are played on radio stations every day, but it only takes listening to tracks such as The River and Thunder Road to get that "depth" you're looking for. He was never the best singer or guitarist but his lyrics and the way he delivers them are believable and soulful.
Hey listen, never ever be ashamed to get emotional over a song. Artists such as Matt put so much emotion into a song you can't help but to get caught up in it and get taken to a different place in your soul. Let the tears fall man, it's free therapy! Haha.
This man is a freakin genius!!! He's the perfect example for great musicans not getting super famous because of the way they look. Sad world we're living in.....
He is truly a national treasure... saw him earlier this year in concert and yesterday afternoon with Stuart McLean and The Vinyl Cafe. Absolutely amazing.
I will simply say this about u Mr Anderson, U are a wonderful singer. I am sooooo glad I searched for wagon wheel n came across u!!!! An amazing talent my darlin. Loved your performance. and just a great sing for sure.
I was stunned when I played this the first time, just absolutely damned stunned. Hit my soul like nothing I've heard in a long long time. Somebody get this guy in a studio!
saw him twice in 2010 and he just sold me totally... a weekend at the Mariposa folk festival in Orillia and he wowed the audience all three days... the man just stirs my sould
I have this feeling ol boy sat at home practicing every night.....longing about someone while learning this.... and be damn if he didn't become the song and you can feel the rush and anguish in this.....beautiful!!!
It was nice of that Springsteen fella to write this song for this guy. Shows the stars do care.
That's the first thing I think of when I think of Bruce Springstein...just a real nice guy. Captain UnAmerican
Well played Sir! Well played.
Right

It’s been ten years, and somehow I always seem to find my way back to this song. Thanks for keeping it here.
Same here

same ha!
Ha few years back I started listening to Chris Stapleton... Now this big chaps popped up, ya some new music for me. 😁
I wish there was a word to describe hearing or finding something that you didn't know was EXACTLY what you wanted or needed.
@@TheMasterblaster32 damn man, blows my mind that people haven't heard Matt before. The number of times I've seen this guy live...makes me wonder what music I haven't discovered yet
@@akillersandwich8360 lol Yip definitely bud, and I'm sure they'll be tons you haven't discovered yet lol.
I love how he goes off into another place altogether when he performs. This is what they mean by losing yourself in the music.
A good musician just gets lost in a song, find the meaning of it and carry it to the audience. :D
eminem tried to tell the kids, he knows, it is the moment, JUST loose it, BTW i am closer to 50 then 40, I love all good music, when the musician lets their soul bare and lets me in to their love and communication.
never know, ..could be Matt, could be dylan, or the stones, metallica or m&m. good music, key to the soul.

this song has been my fucking obsession for years and i've never heard a cover i've liked except this one.
Million thumbs up!
Listen to, "In Bloom by Sturgill Simpson."
lol i meant a cover of this specific song but i'll still check that out, thnx!
wait i've that before- it's an awesome cover!
Have you heard the Chromatics version? It's solid.
this voice is a goosebump machine
I saw him perform about a year ago. He did a set with the New Brunswick Symphony Orchestra. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck and tears were running down my cheeks. He was that incredible. The only way I could describe his performance was that he CONSUMED the guitar. Strings were breaking and he still kept ripping the notes from it. PLEASE go see him if you get a chance.
anytime you hear a dude howling like a wolf in a song its awesome...he really means that shit hes singing
I would consider myself pretty tough. I am a big Navajo/Cholo who has been around. I stumbled upon this song just barely and I hate to admit it, but I started to cry when I heard this.

Gay
After a decade of listening to this cover, it still opens up my soul in a way no other performance can. Thank you for this, Matty.
Drop D Tuning
Start - D - Bm7 - D (Repeat how ever many times you want)
First 2 Verses - D - G - Bm7 - G - A - D (x2)
Last 2 Verses - G - Bm7 - D - G - Bm7 - G - {A - D}-repeat 2X
Fill in how ever you wish with cross-picking or strumming. It all sounds good on this song.
Thank you man. I know its 7 years ago ut thank you.
You’re a saint.
WHY HAVENT THEY TAKEN THIS TO THE STUDIO. PEOPLE THIS IS AMAZING
When you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing ❤️ thank you
Yes!!!
WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS???
Improper use of internet lingo.
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!!!
I'm broke nigga, I'm broke
Good Family Guy reference
Take my money
This is why I comb through TH-cam. To hear artist such as this. AMAZING!!!!!!!!
you should see him live dude - 10X more amazing
Me too Timothy!
yep me to never know what your going to find
I’ve followed Matt since Stainers Warf, when he was grinding away in Halifax and the Maritimes. Its 2019 and I am sitting by the camp fire watching this video proudly. He is worth every penny if you get the chance to watch him live!
2:10 - 3:10 goosebumps man. My goodness. What a voice and soul
Its good when it makes you cry. This handsome man is pure soul! Wish songs like this would play on the radio instead of this weird rap stuff.
Yes agree true beauty really does come from the soul appealing to us on an emotional level, bringing tears in its presence; the physical pleasures seeming mute and shallow in comparison. Makes me think singing and music is a great gift to mankind to be experienced and felt. I love his voice, the range the emotion; he takes us on a different journey in each song.
Damo couldnt have said that any better, agreed.
Bree Romero you all should listen to Meatloaf. He is the modern day Meatloaf. But I give the edge to Meatloaf.
Amen Damo!
Bree Romero I don't know where you're located in the world but they at his songs on CBC radio 2
I watch this a few times a week, for about 6 months
Best version of this song. Amazing
Wow. I am in tears. Simply stunning. Gorgeous. Beautiful. This is what my heart sounds like. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Yay!!! I feel lucky to hear this guy sing. Shivers. And that howling!! :)
Man your my most favorite ever im only 18 an have been listening to you since I was 9 I look up to you your my hero you deserve more respect than what you get big man
Dude...THAT rendition is f’ing INCREDIBLE!! Way to make the song your own. I listened to it 7 times in a row. Outstanding.
well never in a million years would i have thought anyone could make this song better than the original....but whew he took it and made it absolutely even more incredible! was already a fav song of mine, but now........wowwwwwwwww! wowwww! this man has such a huge career ahead of him!absolutely loved this far more than i could even begin to find words for! anybody that has not heard this man sure should!!
God dammit I want a recording of this right now
His voice is so powerful. AMAZING.
Saw him in Vancouver a few months ago and still can't get his voice and presence out of my mind. He owned that stage, every one is the audience came alive when he was performing - but he has an incredibly humble spirit and generosity. I was like "holy shit - who is this guy" - he is like a superhero, he's incognito, he is so many things it is hard to put into words...
It never fails, no matter how often I listen to this cover, I get chills and goosebumps.
The legend himself Matt Andersen
met him on my plane a few years ago on our way bac k to Halifax. best version of this song ever
Bro'....I gotta say. I absolutely hate Springstein like a pimple on a hemorrhoid but my God brother, you can sing!! That is absolutely haunting and you ARE the music! WOW!!! How are you not on the big screen bro??? I've never in my life seen or witnessed ANYBODY who was so much the entire thing....your pipes, your passion, your emotion, your music, your story, your song...YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR!!! A great friend of mine, Clint introduced me to your music a couple weeks back when he saw you in Kingston. My wife and I are definitely coming to see you next time Matt, you're a real treat to listen to, THANKS!
+Ted Nicholl couldnt have put it any better myself.
You got that right Ted
Amazing. Matt can out whooo whooo anyone including the Boss on the original recording of this song. Love this version.
Unbelievable! I could listen to him sing for hours.
12 years later and still one of my favorite covers of any song ever!
How can you not like this?
13 years and still best cover of this song ❤
Had a friend show me this guy recently and was instantly hooked. I wish I could see him live sometime, but he's not touring anywhere close to me.
You Goooo Matt....Show them what us Atlantic Canadians can do. I remember the day i 1st saw you on Breakfast Television,,,i missed my drive to work cus i had to watch you....well worth it. BRAVO!!!!!!!
I’m literally hanging on every note you sing ..... blow you away amazing. More please.
Been lucky enough to see this guy 3 times in my local vlllage hall here in north east Scotland only because his cousin lives here and he plays when he’s over from Canada or wherever he’s touring..... you have to see him play to experience how good he is. I’ve reluctantly dragged a few non blues fans with us on the last two occasions and watched their jaws hit the deck in awe . He’s so humble when you speak to him as well!
Brilliant vocals!! Like a deep soulful meatloaf!
I just close my eyes and listen...and listen again...and again...and again...
Not a fan of covers but he does a great job on this. Been watching for years.
Never heard this man before. I’m glad I have now
Man is still on fire April 2018
countryboy0717 can confirm is still flaming April 2019
just came on to listen to Bruce sing this song. and what do you know. Here is Matt Andersen. I"m sitting in the house of the people that promote him. ... random... What a voice. This guy will be a true legend.
First time listening to this dude,unbelievable. Hope he comes to Manchester,absolutely shit hot
Was just shown this guy by a friend... I am absolutely blown away. That voice... that voice...
This man FEELS the MUSIC!!
This is proof that the music and radio are crap today this guy should be all over the radio. I love finding jems like this I just wish I was there I can't even imagine the feeling and atmosphere to be there live...
Wow, you are seriously amazing!
I love your Music sole music... Im a big fan
Nice arrangement. Plus a ton of soul. Great job.
Matt Anderson was my breakthrough artist into country music and I'm incredibly grateful for him and his music.
It brings tears to my eyes and makes my hair stand on end. I can only imagine hearing you live. Come to Atlanta, brother.
The Boss himself would be proud you covered his song as well as you did.
I closed my eyes and let my soul play with my heart strings. When will real talent be recognized by the masses?
Who would ever give him thumbs down? Really though.
Great man you made my night we search for good music constantly tonight I found it thank you.
SO wonderful to see 'that grin' on a musician's face.. when every note is just perfect and he knows he puts a spell on his audience! Not at all uncommon for Matt :)
Omg this song. This guy. So good. Red heads so much passion
The lyrics are seriously disturbing...only an artist this great could make this song so amazing. GREAT JOB!
Some of the best woooo-hoooo-whoooos I've ever heard. And I've heard a lot.
holy smokes this guy kills it
This is amazing. Blasting it on the stereo right now. million dollar vocal. so natural. so gifted.
So awesome man.
That's one of those moments when you stop talking and just enjoy the vibe. Great version.
this man is a god.
One of my All-Time-Fav Songs. And he does it brilliant
holy talent
Just bagged me 2 tickets to see this genius in June just outside Cardiff, Wales.. So, so excited to see him live..
Bruce Springstein himself would NOT dislike this.
He might even like it.
@Max Joseph I have to disagree, sure he had hits such as Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run that are played on radio stations every day, but it only takes listening to tracks such as The River and Thunder Road to get that "depth" you're looking for. He was never the best singer or guitarist but his lyrics and the way he delivers them are believable and soulful.
Bruce might even have to whip it out and mix a batch after seeing this.
Max Joseph, I think you’ve not been paying attention. Listen again, not to just the top 10s. For you brother, for real.
V. B. Let’s give him “One word “- Backstreets, give it a spin
Hey listen, never ever be ashamed to get emotional over a song. Artists such as Matt put so much emotion into a song you can't help but to get caught up in it and get taken to a different place in your soul. Let the tears fall man, it's free therapy! Haha.
fabulous voice
So good to find someone new, specially when you find someone this good
This man is a freakin genius!!! He's the perfect example for great musicans not getting super famous because of the way they look. Sad world we're living in.....
He is truly a national treasure... saw him earlier this year in concert and yesterday afternoon with Stuart McLean and The Vinyl Cafe. Absolutely amazing.
I really like that he slowed down the song, but speeding it up to 1.25 is perfect.
Caleb Rotton thanks for that hahaha didnt even think of it good pointing it out
I will simply say this about u Mr Anderson, U are a wonderful singer. I am sooooo glad I searched for wagon wheel n came across u!!!! An amazing talent my darlin. Loved your performance. and just a great sing for sure.

Oh MY !!! i LOVE IT ! thank you thank you ❤🇬🇷
I was stunned when I played this the first time, just absolutely damned stunned. Hit my soul like nothing I've heard in a long long time. Somebody get this guy in a studio!

I want to make another account just to like this again.
I keep coming back to this!! So great!!!

I listen to this song and Matt Anderson everyday!
Or even several times a day .... hooked on Matt Andersen!
I have this feeling ol boy sat at home practicing every night.....longing about someone while learning this.... and be damn if he didn't become the song and you can feel the rush and anguish in this.....beautiful!!!
This guy has "IT" in spades.
Met this man in the back hall at work one year, told him I was looking for this performance for 5 years!

Wonderfull. Tearshedding while listening.
I'm in love
This is a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. This gave me chills. Wow... I'm just ridiculously impressed.
