covers

Rupert Wates' songs have been recorded by many other performers. In some cases, the artists have chosen to record, on their own initiative and at their own expense, entire CDs comprised exclusively of material taken from Rupert Wates' back catalog.  These CDs might fairly be described as tribute albums to the songwriting of Rupert Wates.  Artists who have covered his material in 2015-2017 include:
