Hi, Brian. Enjoyed the show. But wanted to point something out. I appreciate that you noted that Envy on the Coast covered Jimi Hendrix’s version of “All Along the Watchtower” instead of Dylan’s. Similarly, it seems to me that Jools Holland and Ruby Turner covered Stevie Wonder’s version of “Blowin’ in the Wind” instead of Bob’s. See what you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIRwkqvQ_ZY
I wonder if you will be able, when you’re done with the Coverville database, to ascertain the MOST popular SOURCES of songs on Coverville. I recognize Steal This Movie from a previous show; in fact, I bought the album as a result of its previous appearance on Coverville. Rubaiyat has three songs listed, though I thought you used it more often.
