This tribute album is in honor of the 30th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s landmark 1984 album Born In The U.S.A., which spawned seven top 10 singles and sold over 15 million copies.

Dead Man’s Town: A Tribute To Born In The U.S.A. features contributions from Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires, Low, Nicole Atkins, Justin Townes Earle, Trampled By Turtles and more.

Speaking about his cover of the title track, Jason Isbell said, “‘Born In The U.S.A.’  is one of my favorites because so many people have seemingly misunderstood the lyrical content and the song’s overall tone. When you listen to the demo, the dark, minor key arrangement makes it clear that this is not strictly a song of celebration. We wanted to stay true to that version.”
