02-17-11: Where There's You, There's Me

This week's mix features versions of the standard "Who Can I Turn To?" by Jackie Wilson, Bill Evans and Marvin Gaye performing live at The Copa. Also featured three times is the haunting Lee Hazelwood ballad "Come On Home To Me", with the original album version with a spoken word introduction accompanied by two covers: Tracey Thorn with Jens Lekman and Madrugada featuring Neil McNasty. Also repeating on this mix is Bob Dylan's "Outlaw Blues": the album version and a rare acoustic take.

The rest: the aggressive "Street Fighting Man" by the Rolling Stones, the symphonic "In The Light" by Led Zeppelin, the spare "Visionz" by The Wu-Tang Clan, Papa Charlie Jackson's dance-inspired "Soodle Um Skoo", David Bowie's ethereal "The Man Who Sold The World", the peevish "American Woman" by The Guess Who, an a cappella version of Jay-Z's "Dirt Off Your Shoulder", the funky "Don't Call Her No Tramp" by Betty Davis, the witty "Steady Mobbin'" by Ice Cube, Georges Brassens' melodic "Le Gorille", Kitty Wells' winsome "Amigo's Guitar", the blissful "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" by The Smiths and an alternate take of the standard "Over The Rainbow" by Judy Garland.
