I found this rather old video on youtube Red which shows a solo David Bowie playing "Space Oddity" in 1970 during an awards show. Wow!

MA:

First time I heard him doing C&W! R&B yes but not that. Interesting.

Taken off his Tin Machine album from 1989. One of my favourite of his albums although I don't think it sold that well in the US.

Here's another track off that album... really like Reeves Gabrel's guitar work here...

I had vaguely heard of Bowie's 'Tin Machine' but nothing from it. Thanks for posting!
