Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Author: Bruce Springsteen
Label: Laurel Canyon
Year: 1972
Demo - piano solo; written for his first lp. Revisited with the E Street Band for Darkness On The Edge Of Town ('78), but never used. Both versions on outtakes compilation A Tear Must Fall. In October '71, while performing in Richmond, VA he had a Talking About My Baby on the playlist which sounded like an early Janey. New full blown E Street Band version of Janey on Letter To You (2020), so now it's finally official.
Covers:
Warren Zevon [as Jeannie Needs A Shooter; own lyrics and melody, so it's not even a cover; Warren hadn't heard the original, was just inspired by hearing the title; Bruce was co-credited, not only for that: he actually came over to help Warren finish off his own Jeannie]
