Some Beatles-related material on this mix from a year ago. Their early song "I Should Have Known Better" is on here as well as a countrified cover by The Charles River Valley Boys and a more modern acoustic take by She & Him. Lena Horne and Gabor Szabo deliver a jazzy read of "Rocky Raccoon" and Danger Mouse remixes Jay-Z's "Justify My Thug" over samples from The Beatles White album.
The Rolling Stones' meancing ballad "Play With Fire" is featured on this mix with three wildly different takes by Johnny Thunders, Ruth Copleand and Albert Kuvezin & Yat-Kah.
Other stuff: the wistful "Once Upon A Time" by Marvin Gaye and Mary Wells, Fleetwood Mac's bitter "Go Your Own Way", Ratt's hook-filled "Round And Round", Ghostface Killah's O.V. Wright-sampling "Motherless Child", Ruth Brown's take on the standard "Tennessee Waltz", Patti Jo's blaxploitation-era "Ain't No Love Lost", Blondie's cool "Rapture", Bone Thugs-N-Harmony with an unlikely Phill Collins sample on "Home", the sweetly sung "How', I Doin'?" by The Aaron Sisters With The Song-O-Pators, Lucinda Williams covering Tom Waits' "Hang Down Your Head", O.V. Wright's anguished "Motherless Child", and Liz Phair's mournful "Shatter".
