John Travolta’s turning 59 next week, and rather than try and muster up a punk rock cover of “Let Her In” (yes, I looked), let’s go through his acting resume and play covers of songs from the soundtracks of his films. (51 minutes)

Thanks for the Joan Osborne “Heat Wave” cover. If you’re not aware, she does two great covers on an album called “Soul Show”: “Son of a Preacher Man” and “Lady Madonna” (there are others too, but those pop into my head first).
Hi Brian
I’ve been away from Coverville a while, and this was the first ep I listed to when I returned. It’s lovely to hear that Coverville has not faded as the years have gone, but got stronger. I loved this episode as much as any of my favourites. Thankyou from a devoted prodigal fan 🙂
