Desolation Angel Radio Thursday July 19th, 2012

The Desolation Angel Radio show, and myself are infamous for telling folks to go see someone live and local who doesn't play covers. There is a place for covers however, beyond high school reunions, wedding receptions and your local beer joint with the band who had day jobs all week long and then sets up and plays for everyone's drinking and dancing pleasure on Friday night. Once an artist has established themselves, and can basically own a cover, grab it by the throat and make it their own, while still honoring and respecting the song's and songwriter's original intent, some very, very cool shit happens. That's we did here Thursday night.
