The standard "Miss Brown To You" was first recorded by Billie Holiday. On this week's mix, I've included a version by Carmen McRae as well.
Other songs that repeat this week include The Chantels' "Maybe", covered by Janis Joplin and two separate takes of "The Cattle Call" by Eddy Arnold.
The posthumous Michael Jackson reissues have already started to trickle out. I recently picked up the "stripped" versions of some of his hits. From that, this week's mix begins with the "stripped" version of his cover of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine".
Other stuff: Freddie Hubbard's funky cover of Maria Muldaur's "Midnight At The Oasis", Masta Killa's loping "Silverbacks" with Inspectah Deck and GZA, Susanna Hoffs' sweet lead vocal with Matthew Sweet on Rod Stewart's "Maggie May", Rod Stewart's gentle cover of Bob Dylan's "Girl From The North Country", Bob Dylan in his crooning phase covering his own "She Belongs To Me" "live" in the studio, Elvis Presley's take of the standard "Gentle On My Mind", Main Source's defiant "Peace Is Not The Word To Play", Led Zeppelin's epic "Dazed And Confused", the heavy "Crazy Nights" by Loudness, the silly "Big Bottom" by Spinal Tap, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5's socially conscious "The Massage", Curtis Mayfield's cover of Baby Huey's "Hard Times", Michael Nesmith & The First National Band with the wistful "Nine Times Blue" and Kimya Dawson's touching "My Heroes".
