We all like covers, just admit it. It’s fun and unique to hear other people play a song that’s familiar to you but in a completely different style. I tend to play a lot of covers but I try to spread them out a little so you don’t get sick of them. Somehow, I wound up picking 4 songs this week that have been redone. That may not seem like much but since I’m only playing 8 songs, 50% of the material that you’re about to hear was not written by the performing artist. It just kind of happened as I was putting it together this week. However, after listening to the playlist a couple times it seemed to fit pretty well and I didn’t want to mess with it, so this is what you get. Next week should have a much lower percentage of cover songs.
The Misfits – Dream Lover from “Project 1950″
The Schomberg Fair – Drunkard’s Prayer from “Gospel”
Old Canes – Next Flood from “Feral Harmonic”
David Bazan, Rosie Thomas, J. Tillman, Laura Gibson, John Totten And Chris Totten – Hard Times from “Come O Spirit! Anthology of Hymns And Spiritual Songs Volume 1″
Silver Speakers – Kensington Market from “Silver Speakers”
Over The Rhine – Son Of A Preacher Man from “Live from Nowhere, Volume One”
Violent Femmes – Crazy
Poor Old Lu – Speak Soft from “Straight Six”
Thanks for listening and I’ll see you next week.
