For this go-round, I’ve finally figured out what I didn’t like about the project, and it was the Coverville episode I’d record with all the submitted songs, where I (and the unlucky guests I had picked) had to offer criticism and praise to each song. That’s not what Coverville is, nor what I want it to become.<\/p>\n
And ever since I came up with the idea for a Spinal Tap Tribute Album, I’ve wanted to release an album tie-in for the podcast.<\/p>\n
Well, this Coverville Idol is going to give me the opportunity to satisfy both wishes. Episode 532 of Coverville will feature a song-by-song playthrough of the very first Coverville album, “Take Them (They’re Yours): A Coverville Tribute to Squeeze”, a 17-track salute to Chris Difford, Glenn Tilbrook and the many performers that have been a part of Squeeze over the years. And not only are the songs going to be included in a podcast, I’ve gathered them all here as individual downloads and as a complete zip archive<\/a> along with cover art designed by Shelby Miller.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You won’t have a tangible CD to hold in your hands, but this is the digital age, baby! Music these days is distributed as much on plastic discs as it is in ones and zeroes. So download the songs below, copy them to your portable music player, listen to them on your computer, or if you feel inclined, put them in your favorite order, burn them to a CD and put it in a jewel case emblazoned with the magnificent artwork provided by Mr. Miller.<\/p>\n You’ll notice I received four versions of “Take Me (I’m Yours)”, but what I love is that each one is so different. And it was the fact that I received four versions of this breakthrough Squeeze song that inspired me to name the album as I did.<\/p>\n Now, without further ado, the lineup for this amazing tribute:<\/p>\n
