Speaking of Joan Osborne:  I have a live CD of hers that I bought strictly for her cover of Son Of A Preacher Man.  I cannot remember if I already listed that on this thread, but if I did, it's so good it's worth listing twice.

Covers of Springsteen's stuff that I like (I may have mentioned some of them, but they are so good they are worth mentioning twice) :   Steve Earle did an interesting cover of Mr. State Trooper and The Cowboy Junkies did a neat cover of it as well.  The Cowboy Junkies also did a kickas cover of Thunder Road.  Tori Amos did a nice cover of I'm On Fire, and Tegan And sara did a cover of Dancing In The Dark that always makes me smile.

 

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. 😊
