Best Covers

Damn -- Joan Osborn's version is smokin' !  !  !  

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. 😊

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.
