Description:
(2021) Aoife O'Donovan - Aoife plays Nebraska
Review:
Aoife O’Donovan issued Aoife Plays Nebraska, an LP featuring her album-length live cover performance of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska record. Bruce Springsteen originally released Nebraska in 1982. He wrote all of the material on the mostly acoustic LP including “Atlantic City,” “State Trooper,” “Reason to Believe” and “Mansion On the Hill.” O’Donovan performed the album from her Brooklyn home on May 9, 2020 for a livestream concert. Jody Elff remotely recorded Aoife Plays Nebraska and mixed and mastered the 10-track album. She accompanied herself alone on acoustic guitar, as Springsteen had on the original album in the early 1980s, but that’s about where the similarity ends. The original album was desperate and dark, with doubt coursing through its tracks like murky blood; O’Donovan treats them as canon, saluting Springsteen’s songcraft with clear, pitch-perfect articulation and affable delivery. The approach is suited best to “Reason to Believe,” the finale, a Springsteen classic that contemplates the mysterious pull of resilience. — nytimes.com
