Dave Edmunds is not a songwriter, so most of his music is recordings of songs written by others. Here’s his version of John Fogerty’s "Almost Saturday Night", which I prefer to John’s original.

Here’s a live version of a Nick Lowe (Dave’s partner in their band Rockpile) song. You know you’re doing well when Steve Cropper is playing rhythm guitar for you. 😊

I've been auditioning/breaking in some new speakers and in the process I have been playing CDs I bought almost 30 years ago and barely listened to, and maybe it's the quality of the speakers or maybe it's the way my listening has either evolved or devolved, but I feel like I am discovering sound I really missed out on the first time around.

From the Naked Songs CD by Kiki Dee (of Don't Go Breaking My Heart with Elton John) is a real nice cover of Joni Mitchell's Carey.

From the Sex Without Bodies CD by Dave's True Story (featuring Kelly Flint on vocals) is a cover I completely love of lou Reed's Walk On The Wild Side.

I really enjoy Johnny Cash's cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water from his (I think) '02 CD, The Man Comes Around.
