episode 2134: #21-34: Under the Covers 2021
There was a time when the occupation of songwriter did not automatically include singer in the description. Generally, a songwriter wrote the song and it was performed by a singer. This began to change in the 1950s, and truly became the practice in the 1960s. Songwriters began to perform their own compositions, the era of the Brill Building was beginning to end. On this week’s show, we present classic performances of songs not written by the performer. We'll hear covers by Bob Dylan, The Flatlanders, Los Lobos, Dawn McCarthy & Bonnie “Prince” Billy and many more. Cover songs … this week on the Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
