Coverville - Birds of a Feather

Coverville!, the long-running awarding-winning podcast and radio program today presents its "Episode 883: On a dark desert highway, indie hodgepodge in my hair".

Coverville's Host and Producer Brian Ibbott kindly includes "the amazing, amazing, voice of Allison Crowe" - performing Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire", in this collection that also features covers of Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Badfinger, the Allman Brothers, Sara Bareilles, John Prine, Rolling Stones and an instrumental of George Gershwin's "Summertime".

Over the years, this pioneering 'cast has enlisted Allison's recordings for cover stories on the Eurythmics, The Lovin' Spoonful, Counting Crows, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, and fittingly - her first-ever appearance on Coverville was in Episode 202 - when she and Peter Gabriel, Madeleine Peyroux, Laura Burhenn, The Pixies, Maxx Klaxon, kd lang, and Jennifer Warnes were heard in "The Leonard Cohen Cover Story".
