Sometimes, the covering artist or band just can’t do a song justice without bringing the original artist in for a cameo appearance in a cover. Some great examples of that on tonight’s show! (55 minutes)

Really loved the Magnet and Steel cover song. Was a really good one! Thanks for this original idea. You keep surprising me!
I’m SO happy nobody mentioned to you that Brian May plays guitar on Shatner’s version of Bohemian Rhapsody. You’ve played it several times already, and if it never again saw the light of day humanity would be the better off for it.
Great show. Both the Manhattan Transfer album and Red, Hot and Country have SEVERAL possibilities, so if you do this again, you have some candidates.
Oh Brian, are you going to add that Jon Anderson/Yes song to the playlist above?
A couple more that you’ve already played: Robert Downey Jr.’s version of Yes’s “Your Move/Give Peace a Chance” with Jon Anderson and Uncle Kracker’s cover of “Drift Away” features Dobie Grey.
I like when this happens and yet the song sounds new and unique. It feels like a hand-off from the original artist to the new one.
WOW — that Dolly track was amazing. I must have listened to it a half dozen times back to back. It immediately went on my Amazon wish list for the coming holidays.
Episode 909 containing “One After 909.” I see what you did there. Clever.
