"I think my head exploded" – The Gaslight Anthem showcase duet with Bruce Springsteen on new song History Books

Bruce Springsteen performs on stage with Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem on the last day of Hard Rock Calling 2009 in Hyde Park on June 28, 2009 in London, Englan

Brian Fallon's work with The Gaslight Anthem has long been linked to the sacred spirit of Bruce Springsteen, and their mutual admiration between the New Jersey rockers has now reached the ultimate crossover; Fallon wrote a song for them to both sing on after Springsteen requested it. 

“When Bruce Springsteen said I should write a duet for us, I think my head exploded," says Fallon introducing the new song and second single from the band's comeback album. “It will never get old to me that one of the greatest songwriters in the world, and one of my hero’s voices, will forever be captured in a song I wrote at a small wooden desk, in October, in New Jersey.”
