Buried Alive in the Blues
Big Dave
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Today's theme - all covers!
There's a long, LONG tradition of blues artists covering others' songs - in fact, I've done ENTIRE SHOWS of nothing but Robert Johnson or Willie Dixon covers - so I'm here to celebrate those who interpret others' songs in fine style. King of covers, Eric Clapton, pictured. Dig!
Genre
Blues & Folk & Funk & Jazz & Rb & Rock & Soul
