Jennifer Nettles Covers Springsteen: “I’m On Fire”

Nettles I'm on Fire
Jennifer Nettles, who rose to fame as lead singer of the country band Sugarland, has been touring as a solo artist following the release of her solo debut album That Girl (2014). Recently, while in Melbourne, Florida on her Playing With Fire Tour, Nettles covered Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire,” a song from his Born in the USA (1984) album.

Check out Nettles performing “I’m On Fire” live. Afterwards, she sang “You Can’t Go Home,” which she had recorded as a duet with Bon Jovi on the country version of the official release.

At the same October 26, 2015 concert, Nettles also covered Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” with some help from Brandy Clark.

    Brandy Clark “Hold My Hand” At Grammys

    Hold My Hand Grammys

    One of the highlights of the recent 57th annual Grammy Awards occurred when Best New Artist nominee Brandy Clark appeared on a side stage with Dwight Yoakam to perform “Hold My Hand.” The two gave one of the small-stage emotional moments on a night usually dominated by big production numbers.

    Check out the video of Clark and Yoakam performing “Hold My Hand,” a song about relationship insecurities that Clark wrote with Mark Stephen Jones.

    “Hold My Hand” is from Clark’s album, 12 Stories. Although she did not win Best New Artist or Country Album of the Year, the Internet loved her performance and hopefully sharing the spotlight with Dwight Yoakam will make sure we hear more from her in the future.
