Song o’ Day – Kyle Swartzwelder’s “Away (Kathleen Edwards cover)”

Kyle Swartzwelder, photo by Lisa SchafferSo “Song o Day” today is a great cover.  I say this as not all covers are great, some are simply imitation.  It is nice to have a song that even though it is a cover, it can stand on it’s own.  This is one of those tracks from Kyle Swartzwelder and his cover of the Kathleen Edwards track “Away”.  Kyle sent these over to me the other day (along with a Neil Young cover of “Powderfinger”, nice), and I needed to share at least one of them.  Man the slide guitar (or what I think of as the slide guitar) is just gorgeous, waning and waxing throughout!

*BONUS ORIGINAL – “Away” – Kathleen Edwards*

Enjoy a bit of folky Americana for your Thanksgiving.  Canadian Thanksgiving that is, and give thanks for talent such as Swartzwelder and Edwards.  If you like this unreleased cover  track – pick up Kyle’s album over at CD Baby HERE.  If you wanted to hear more of Kathleen Edwards, visit her on her website HERE.
