In this episode we will look at Cover versions that equal the Originals, thus the C=O. If you're wondering why we're here read Part 1 of this series where we had talked about Originals vs Covers and the triggers for this series. We actually had a Part 2, just a few days ago where…
In Part 1 of this series we had talked about Originals vs Covers. In this episode we will look at Cover versions that are better than the Originals. This was requested by Kirsten, whom you met in Episode 1. She wanted this urgently, so here it is. There were folks who suggested some…
