The Return of the Mail-Order Bridegroom is a covers album by Australian guitarist and songwriter Ed Kuepper released in 2014.
Recorded in three days and featuring Kuepper alone with no overdubbing, it contains reworked acoustic versions of songs by his former bands The Saints and Laughing Clowns, as well as new versions of his solo material and songs popularised by artists including Jimi Hendrix and The Walker Brothers.
Apart from "No Regrets," all of the songs were selected from those he had played during a 2013 "Solo and By Request" Australian tour.
"I wanted something that was more coherent, something I was actually feeling had come out of this whole process of sort of throwing myself at the mercy of the audience in a way.
"So I thought, why don’t I just book some time for a studio and go in and play some of the songs that were requested?
