Coverville 116: Covers of Nirvana, Paul McCartney, and his old band...by request!
Tonight, a Nirvana cover that isn't "Smells Like Teen Spirit", a Beatles cover that isn't one of the usual ones you hear, an uncovered gem and some trivia. Oh yeah, and more. Here's what's on deck:| Title | Artist | Original Artist: |
| Only Tongue Can Tell | The Trash Can Sinatras | (Uncovered Gem of the Week) |
| Knowing Me, Knowing You | The Wondermints | ABBA |
| I'm Only Sleeping | Suggs | The Beatles |
| Maybe I'm Amazed | Gov't Mule | Paul McCartney & Wings |
| A Taste of Honey | Lizz Wright | Popularized by Herb Alpert and others |
| Come As You Are | Caetano Veloso | Nirvana |
There's a Musically Challenged in this show! Make sure to check out Voices from the Vault!
This is all my iTunes stuff - feel free to ignore it: (Comments
It's hard to imagine that any band could cover a Beatles song and insodoing uncover the song in a way that made me hear it differently and love it more. "Maybe I'm Amazed' by Gov't Mule is the highlight of C-ville #116.... it was definitely the highlight of my summer hearing it live...thank you for podcasting it!

Great vocals.
