I'm sure you have heard a song called "Seven Bridges Road" done by the Eagles. They did not write that song. This is the Original Seven Bridges Road that i went to go see live. It was written and performed by Steve Young.

I always love to hear the songwriter sing his own song. My favorite cover of this amazing tune was done by Joan Baez many, many years ago. Check it out if you can find it...And thank you, Mr. Young, for writing a song that has helped me keep on keepin' on for 55 years!

I never liked the Eagles version. It is to fast. I prefer the version on the Blue Canyon release, next would be the version with Tracy Nelson and after that the original on Rock Salt And Nails.

I think every time he cuts it, he adds something different and unique.How many times has he done this at least ten. They are all great. He sings it with soul and passion.How could he not, he wrote it. He has lived it.

I really have not heard anyone else do this that can come near to his.

This is wonderful to hear the original version of the song...my heart still is with Iain Matthews version, esp. his earliest cover of the song, (prior to Valley Hi)...check it out...really, worth finding.

My first Columbia record album I received way back when was Joan Baez Diamonds and Rust which featured a great rendition of Seven Bridges Road. Anyone have this track. I think she makes the most of this song.

@meatman55 I don't know what point you were trying to make. Iain Matthews did a great cover of Steve Young's song & the Eagles copied his version. I neither said nor meant anything against either Steve Young or Iain Matthews, and if you think I did, I have no idea where you got the notion.

@TheGWFrog you are wrong i know him personally and been friends with my family for years.

I love both versions. The writer puts his very soul into the performance of his art. This cannot be replicated or "covered." That said, bands like Led Zep, the Stones, etc. create their own magic with their renditions of old acoustic blues songs. The entertainment value is no less for it being their interpretation. Love it all, Glen

By far, better than the Eagles version. For some reason, the Eagles changed it from 3/4 to 4/4 time, and the extra beat in each measure causes the song to drag -- badly. It's just a showcase for show-off harmonies and loses the emotional charge of the original.

[TheGWFrog]

But the Eagles only took Iain Matthew's version as their own...

[hockeyguy1414]

@paulandlesson i agree, even though i think the eagles version sounds better, this is the original and you can't cover a song better than the original
