07-14-11: Though Your World Is Changing I Will Be The Same

"Walk A Mile In My Shoes" was written by Joe South in 1970 as a plea for racial tolerance. This week's mix features his original along with covers by Bob Andy and Elvis Presley performing live.

Also featured this week is Bryan Ferry's "Slave To Love" with covers by Roisin Murphy and Jimmy Scott to accompany the original.

One other song appears here more than once: Pavement's "We Dance", the original and a cover by Cat Power.

Sweet Sable's "Old Time's Sake" samples Eddie Kendricks' "Intimate Friends".

The rest: the furious "1977" by The Clash, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' sneering "Bad Reputation", the witty "Straight From The Sewer" by Das EFX, Beck's funky "Where It's At", the bouncy "Gingerbread Man" by MF Grimm, the gentle "Singer Not The Song" by The Rolling Stones, the soulful "One Woman" by Al Green, the mellow "Just You 'n' Me" by Chicago, a cover of Bread's "Make It With You" by Sugar Minott, the hushed "Assez" by Marlene Dietrich, a Paul Nice remix of "the Bizness" by De La Soul with Common and the tender "And I Love Her" by The Beatles.
