All Cover Songs - Episode #362

In this fouth-to-last UTR Radio Show, we're having some fun with this week's theme of all cover songs. Ben Rector takes on Huey Lewis & The News. The 77s give us their version of Wilco. And Justin McRoberts reimagines George Michael.

Producer Notes:
In planning our final radio shows, one of the fan-favorite themes that's just pure fun is when we do all cover songs, so I was happy we could do this one more time in this era of UTR. We are excited to share some UTR artists putting their own reimagined creativity on some prior classics, sometimes allowing the song to take on a new meaning when experienced through the lense of a different artist. The ultimate highlight for me has to be a one-time exclusive recording of a rare cover song by Sir Eric Peters. I prodded him to include the song he soundchecks with (Jackson Brown's "These Days") into a concert set that we were recording, and he obliged! That happened in 2011, so we've had this gem in our pocket for over 5 years! The other live song on the show is quite special too -- Christa Wells performs the UTR hit "One" live at Escape To The Lake 2015, with Jess Ray and Christopher Williams on guest vocals and guitar! We even include one of the *brand new* cover songs just released by Andrew Osenga. So much good stuff... and it was a lot of fun to put together. ** Don't forget our Kickstarter Campaign is happening right now, and we'd love your support in backing our creative relaunch for 2017!
