Watching The Covers Flow

Despite the group's five superstars, the Traveling Wilburys have been covered less than you might think. Today the show investigates covers of both the few songs lots of artists cover (Handle with Care, End of the Line) and the many more Wilburys tunes that have only been covered once or twice.

Songs in this episode include:

1. Headstones — Tweeter and the Monkey Man
2. Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins — Handle with Care
3. Dr. John ft. Aaron Neville — End Of The Line
4. Petr Rezek & Karel Vágner — Jak Ty To Děláš [Congratulations]
5. The Sweetback Sisters — Rattled
6. Killing the Day — If You Belonged to Me
7. Adrian Belew — Not Alone Anymore SHOW CONTINUES ON THE EXTENDED EDITION
8. Sweet Lights — Handle with Care
9. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — Tweeter and the Monkey Man
10. George Harrison — If You Belonged to Me

This is the first episode of Watching The Cover Flow a podcast that dives deep into covers of, and by, the most covered songwriter in rock and roll: Bob Dylan.

Empire Burlesque gets a lot of grief from Dylan fans for its oh-so-'80s production. Can the songs be redeemed when delivered in other styles by other artists?

Songs covered include:

1. Tight Connection To My Heart (Jon Carrol & Love Returns)
2. Seeing The Real You At Last (Betty LaVette)
3. I’ll Remember You (Amy LaVere)
4. Clean Cut Kid (Carla Olson)
5. Never Gonna Be The Same Again (Ron Sexsmith)
6. Trust Yourself (Carlene Carter)
7. Emotionally Yours (The O’Jays)
8. When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky (Lucius)
9. Something’s Burning Baby (Scott B. Sympathy)
10. Dark Eyes (Iron & Wine / Calexico)

The show includes only samples of each song, but you can listen to the complete versions on the Watching The Covers Flow Playlist.
