Sunday Supper: 11/15/20

This week's "Sunday Supper" succumbs to the irresistible appeal of covers. The show kicks off with the Avett Brothers' timely and true-folk version of "This Land Is Your Land" and segues into a couple of Pete Seeger covers. There will be a couple by Bob Dylan, of course, as well as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and the Rolling Stones. Less obvious might be unconventional covers of Sting and The Pretenders. All recorded within the past year.

Who are the culprits behind these covers? Other than the Avetts, the Kronos Quartet, Gathering Time, James Taylor, Brittany Howard, Steve Forbert, Molly Tuttle, Aaron Nathans & Michael G. Ronstadt, Shemekia Copeland, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Sharon Jones, among others.    

As always, I've got you covered between 5-6 p.m. EST at 90.7 FM and wfuv.org and anytime on demand in the WFUV Weekend Archives, on the WFUV app or the clever smart speaker of your choice.
