As Bruce related in his recent SXSW Keynote speech, The Animals’ “We Gotta Get Out Of His Place” is the keystone of much of his music. People are stuck in their situations and desperate to get out. Amidst jangling guitars and garage-band keyboard lines, “Jackson Cage” tells that very story. The music drives forward, adding some tension by seeming to never resolve. By the time that last chord comes crashing down, it’s too late to get out.
I love this 2009 rendition but man, it looks very strange to see Bruce strapping on a 12-string electric.
