Son Little Hauntingly Covers Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper"

Son Little, the Philadelphia singer and songwriter has released a beautiful cover of Bruce Springsteen's song "State Trooper." The track was featured on Bruce Springsteen's 1982 classic Nebraska.

Son Little released a self titled project nearly a year ago, listen to it here and read an interview we did with him here. The album Nebraska, and perhaps by extension, the song "State Trooper", was according to Springsteen himself, partially inspired by Howard Zinn's seminal book A People's History of the United States, a radical, and much more accurate, historical account of the United States. The narrative threads throughout the album were also inspired by the true story of a 19 year-old man named Charles Starkweather who went on a two month murder spree in Wyoming and Nebraska taking the lives of eleven people. Starkweather's 14-year-old girlfriend,Caril Ann Fugate, also accompanied him on the rampage. Son Little hauntingly sings the now infamous Springsteen lyrics:
