#129 Radio Show, May 28, 2012 – Covers That Don’t Suck
Cover versions of classic songs have a bad rap, in fact usually they’re crap. These versions though buck the trend, and might just surprise and delight you.
The show is called “From the Other Side of the Mirror” and is broadcast every Monday at 9 am. You can find KOOP radio at 91.7 Fm in the Austin area, or stream it online at www.koop.org
