"Oh, Lonesome Me" was written and recorded by Don Gibson in 1958. This week's mix features his hit version along with covers by The Everly Brothers, Ray Charles, Neil Young, Johnny Cash without the studio dubbed background singers and M Ward performing with Lucinda Williams.
"A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Everyday)" was a Holland-Dozier-Holland composition for a Martha & The Vandellas b-side in 1963. This week's mix features another Motown version from 1966 by Kim Weston along with a Phil Spector-produced cover by Ike & Tina Turrner to accompany the original.
One other song repeats across the mix: "Someone To Share My Life With" by Television Personalities along with a cover by Jens Lekman.
The rest: the J Dilla-produced "Modern Day Gangstas" by Notorious B.I.G. with Busta Rhymes and Labba, a cover of Barry White's "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe" by The Afghan Whigs, Barry White's seductive "I Wanna Lay Down With You Baby", the nocturnal "After Hours" by A Tribe Called Quest, a cover of Bob Dylan's "I Want You" by Cher, the funky "Give The Drummer Some" by Ultramagnetic MCs, the languid "What Am I Waiting For" by The Black Exotics, the wry "People's Parties" by Joni Mitchell, the airy "Ecoute Mon Coeur" By Ria Bartok and Michael Jackson performing "Man In The MIrror" live at Wembley Stadium.
