The Ledge #652: Covers

I've always said that I have a folder on my laptop where I toss any great cover version that I encounter, and when that folder is "full" it's time for an all-covers show.

Well, I noticed earlier this week that said folder was close to that level, but I also was made aware that Monday, January 20, was the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan's Blood On the Tracks album. Surely, I had a few remakes of tunes from that classic record.

Add a handful of Dylan tunes and I was ready. Yet I received another little surprise just a few hours before this week's broadcast. Our friends at Big Stir Records sent their upcoming Sorrows album. Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow is an unreleased record that the original lineup recorded back in 1981. With the reunited group now signed to the label, it certainly makes sense that Big Stir would let us finally hear this power pop classic!
