Covers:
Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham [autobiographical to say the least: royalties rolling in like rainwater makes they might just as well go out fishing every day, which is pretty much what both of these songwriters have been doing lately; Dan's demo came out on his ACE comp The Fame Recordings ('12)]
Julian Dawson [on cd Living Good]
