I'm just talking about the song here, not the album. After seeing the video I started thinking - ok - the Bob Dylan associations are just too strong to be a coincidence. Now I've looked into it a little more and it appears there is a definite link to Bob Dylan's "With God on Our Side". You might be, like, duh... sorry I'm a little slow some times.
Anyway - awesome song - both Bruce's as well as Bob's "With God on Our Side". The first time I heard Bob's song I was blown away. I've said it before, but Bob seems to know what he's doing. I didn't know up until now that Bruce also knows what he's doing. Major props guys.

Your thoughts about a song that's blown you away made me think of just such a song I found recently: Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. It's a very simple song, but it's just, you know, great. I have a live recording, which isn't that great, but I learned to play the song (it's very easy) and it's now a favourite. I believe a number of artists have recorded it so I'm sure you can find a good version.

Yeah Hallelujah is an awesome song - I think I've only heard Jeff Buckley's version. I still remember the first time I heard it. I'll have to check out Leonard's original version some time.
