“Cover Songs” needledrop show with host Raina Douris

Today, it’s all cover songs on the World Cafe! For a full two hours, we’ll dig into the different ways musicians conceptualize the same idea…Like Yola, whose Elton John cover sticks close to the original. And Scissor Sisters’ cover of Pink Floyd, which gets about as far away from the original as one could imagine. Tune in to today’s all covers show – and after – maybe you’ll listen to some of your old favorites in a new way.
