Episode 77 Under the Covers

In this weeks episode we shallow dive in the history of cover songs. However we will not be playing any covers in this show, instead we will be playing the original records that were made famous by other artists covering them. 

  For example, we do NOT play Elvis Presley but instead we play Big Momma Thorton who was the original artist that wrote Hound Dog. We dig thru the crates and play original records to find out was the cover song an homage or was it a musical mugging? Are the artists guilty of copyright infringement or are they fans paying respect to their influences? All these questions and more will be answered in todays show.

 We drop the needle on records from David Bowie/Nirvana, The Paragons/Blondie, The Maytals/ Yellowman/ Sister Nancy, Amy Winehouse/The Zutons, Neil Diamond/UB40/Urge Overkill, Santana/Fleetwood Mac, Hendrix/Dylan, The Clash/The Crickets, The Arrows/the Blackhearts, Led Zepplin /Jake Holmes, Snoop Dogg, the Budos Band, Bo Diddley, James Ray, Otis Redding/Aretha Franklin, Gloria Jones, Willy Cobbs, Lynda Lydell, Shocking Blue/Bananarama, Tears for Fears, the Alchemist and MORE!

 Great show que’d up for my music historians, a sonic time travel learning experience and all that is required of you is to simply just listen. Each week what we do here is provide a weekly mixtape of different styles of music. We play all different genres of music from all different eras in time. And today’s show is a perfect example of just what it is that we do here.

Live from the heart of the Galil Mountains on 105.3FM, this is more than just a radio show—it’s a sonic journey through time, culture, and sound. Hosted by a native New Yorker who cut his teeth spinning records in the city’s underground scenes of hip hop, reggae, dub, punk, and dancehall. He now has relocated to the mountains of Northern Israel to bring this knowledge of music to everyone in earshot.
We dig deep into the record crates telling the stories behind the music that shaped generations and putting some stank on it in the process. Each episode weaves a tapestry of genres, connecting the past and present like an old school cassette mixtape with special guest appearances from kindred spirits like Uncle Siris’ daughter, Soso, and the Silent Bob of of the DJ world, Mixmaster DJ Milkweed.
