Well... not exactly a cover, Springsteen wrote it & let Edmunds record it first


Dave Edmunds wrote it, but let his old 'Rockpile' buddy Lowe record it


Steve Earle covering Townes Van Zandt (also superbly covered by Emmy-Lou Harris)

Talking of KD Laing

What about her version of 'Rose Garden', or 'Honky Tonk Angels' with Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn & Kitty Wells??
Or, basically, the entirety of the Shadowlands LP, that she recorded with Owen Bradley??? ('Three Cigarettes In The Ashtray', etc...)

Oh dear, here we go, probably even less kudos if I confess to having seen these guys live twice. It was a very silly, beer covered. sweaty night for me and Mrs D at The Borderline. Recommended if you like your Americana with a Berlin vibe (what am I saying?).Their version of Snoops Drop It Like It's Hot and Beastie Boys Sabotage also worth a listen. Non cover versions also available
