"Shining Star" is a song by EARTH, WIND & FIRE issued as a single in January 1975 on Columbia Records. The song rose to No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the Billboard Hot Soul Songs chart, becoming their first single to top both charts (and only single to top the former).
"Shining Star" was produced by Maurice White and composed by White, Larry Dunn and Philip Bailey. The song also came off EARTH, WIND & FIRE's 1975 album "That's the Way of the World".
The concept for the song came to Maurice White while strolling at night during the band's recording of "That's the Way of the World" at Caribou Ranch. He became inspired by looking up at the starry sky and took his ideas about the song to the other band members.
Today's powerhouse classic was made by vox/lead guitar: Myles Kennedy, guitar: Kathy Moore, drums: Dennis Leeflang, BVs: Christa Wells, bass: Mike Squires, trumpet: Austin Drake, tenor saxophone: R.W. Enoch and trombone: Lindsay McMurray. Mixed by Don Gunn Edited by Mike Squires.
The tune was made for the podcast Couch Riffs https://couchriffs.com.

"My Girl" is a soul music song recorded by the TEMPTATIONS for the Gordy (Motown) record label. Written and produced by the MIRACLES members Smokey Robinson and Ronald White, it became the TEMPTATIONS' first U.S. number 1 single, and is today their signature song. Robinson's inspiration for writing "My Girl" was his wife, Miracles member Claudette Rogers Robinson. The song was included on the TEMPTATIONS 1965 album "The Temptations Sing Smokey". In 2017, the song was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant".
Over time, "My Girl", with its signature introduction and unrestrained expression of joy, would become one of Motown's best-known and most successful singles. "My Girl" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.
Today's reimagined version of "My Girl" is made by the Palestine, Texas rock band BLACKTOP MOJO. The band consists of vocalist Matt James, drummer Nathan Gillis, guitarist Chuck Wepfer, and bassist Matt Curtis.
The band was founded by Matt James and Nathan Gillis in 2012. Enjoy today's cover!

"Godzilla" is a single by U.S. hard rock band BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, the first track on the band's fifth studio album "Spectres". The lyrics are a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the popular movie monster of the same name. Despite failing to chart, the song received significant airplay on rock radio stations and became a sleeper hit. The song, along with "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "Burnin' for You," is one of the band's best-known songs and has become a staple of its live performances. It has been covered by bands such as moe., RACER X, FU MANCHU, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, Sebastian Bach, DOUBLE EXPERIENCE and FIGHTING GRAVITY.
Cash Box called it "a clever rocker tale of Godzilla...with a strong, catchy hook, excellent guitar and special effects."
In 2019, a cover of the song, sung by Serj Tankian, was featured in "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", marking the first usage of the song in a Godzilla film.
Today's version is made by the American stoner rock band FU MANCHU, a band formed in Southern California in 1985, and long-associated with the Palm Desert Scene. "Godzilla's/Eatin' Dust" is the fifth studio album from FU MANCHU, released on February 19, 1999 on the now defunct Man's Ruin label. The album combines what were originally two limited 10” releases: "Godzilla" (1997) and "Eatin’ Dust" (1999). Enjoy!
"Make It Rain" is a tune written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. The song is featuring on his sixteenth studio album "Real Gone", released October 3, 2004 in Europe, and October 5 in United States on the ANTI- label. The album was supported by the "Real Gone Tour", playing sold out locations in North America and Europe in October and November 2004.

"These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" is a hit song written by Lee Hazlewood and recorded by Nancy Sinatra. It charted on January 22, 1966 and reached No. 1 in the United States Billboard Hot 100 and in the UK Singles Chart.
Lee Hazlewood intended to record the song himself, saying that "it's not really a girl's song", but Sinatra talked him out of it, saying that "coming from a guy it was harsh and abusive, but was perfect for a little girl to sing". Hazlewood agreed. Sinatra's recording of the song was made with the help of Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. This session included Chuck Berghofer on double bass, providing the notable bass line with its quarter-tone descent. The session was held on November 19, 1965 at United Western Recorders in Hollywood, and additionally produced the songs "Foursome" and "The City Never Sleeps at Night."
“These Boots Are Made For Walkin'” tells the tale of someone who's had enough. She's clearly been putting up with the bad behaviour of a partner or lover for some time…doing her best to forgive and forget.
Subsequently, many cover versions of the song have been released in a range of styles: metal, pop, rock, punk rock, country, dance, and industrial. Among the more notable versions are the singles released by MEGADETH, Billy Ray Cyrus, Haley Reinhart, and Jessica Simpson.
“If Suicide produced a Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood song” is a hell of a tag line, and Kate Clover’s “These Boots” delivers on that premise. The menacing guitar seems pulled straight from “Frankie Teardrop,” while Clover’s vocals channel Sinatra’s swagger. Bonus points for the fun Twin Peaks-esque video.
Today's cover "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" (Featuring Warren Thomas), enjoy!

"Shadow Dancing" is a disco song performed by English singer-songwriter Andy Gibb. The song was released in April 1978 as the lead single from his second studio album of the same name. The song reached number one for seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. Albhy Galuten (who also produced this song) arranged the song with Barry Gibb. While Andy Gibb would have three more Top 10 hits in the U.S., this would be his final chart-topping hit in the United States. The song became a platinum record.
The song was written by Andy and his brothers (Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb) in Los Angeles, while the trio of brothers were working on the film "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". "And one night," Andy would recall, "while we were relaxing, we sat down and we had to start getting tracks together for the album" (also titled "Shadow Dancing"). "So we literally sat down and in ten minutes, we had a group going, (singing) the chorus part. As it says underneath the song, we all wrote it, the four of us."
"Shadow Dancing" was included on the album "Hail Satin" released in 2021 by the DEE GEES (an alter ego of the FOO FIGHTERS). Lead vocals on this cover were sung by Taylor Hawkins.
"Hail Satin", the vinyl debut of DEE GEES is out now at participating RSD independent record stores. The Album was recorded live at studio 606. Enjoy today's cover!
"Thank You" is a song by the English rock band LED ZEPPELIN from their second studio album "Led Zeppelin II" (1969). It was written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, and produced by Page.
In a retrospective review of "Led Zeppelin II" (Deluxe Edition) (2014), Michael Madden of Consequence of Sound praised the remastering of "Thank You", believing the track now sounds "mellow and well-balanced". Madden further praised the remastering, writing the track "breathes easy during the verses and ascends elsewhere in the song", along with "illuminating Page's touch and Bonham's haymakers". When reviewing the added bonus tracks of the Deluxe Edition, Madden further praised the new version of "Thank You", titled "Thank You (Backing Track)", writing the track "magnifies the song's tasteful sheen, popping with Bonham’s drums and Jones' organ, which seems to have a mind of its own.
The American singer-songwriter and musician Tori Amos record a great piano cover on this tune, released on the UK EP "Crucify". It was released as the fifth single from her debut studio album "Little Earthquakes", on May 12, 1992, by Atlantic Records in North America and on June 8 by EastWest Records in the UK.
The tune was also released as a live clip on her "Live at Montreux 1991/1992", a live album and DVD set, released on September 22, 2008 in the United Kingdom and on September 30, 2008 in the United States, featuring two separate performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival early in her career. The first 10-song set was recorded on July 3, 1991 with the second 9-song set recorded one year later on July 7, 1992. The bulk of the set list for each show was taken from Amos' solo debut album "Little Earthquakes". Enjoy today's tune!
"I'll Be Seeing You" is a popular song about missing a loved one, with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal. Published in 1938, it was inserted into the Broadway musical "Right This Way", which closed after fifteen performances. The title of the 1944 film "I'll Be Seeing You" was taken from this song at the suggestion of the film's producer, Dore Schary. The song is included in the film's soundtrack.
Billie Holiday's 1944 recording of the song was the final transmission sent by NASA to the Opportunity rover on Mars when its mission ended in February 2019. It was Billie's version that inspired CAT POWER to make a cover of it.
Today's tune "I'll Be Seeing You" is taken from the eleventh studio album "Covers" by the American musician CAT POWER, the stage name of American singer-songwriter Chan Marshall. Her third collection of cover songs, following 2000's "The Covers Record" and 2008's "Jukebox", the album was released worldwide on January 14, 2022, by Domino Recording Company.
A music video for "I'll Be Seeing You" was released on December 14, the same day the song was released as a double A-side single with "Unhate". The album will be supported by a US and European tour beginning in April 2022, see the dates below.

"Nutshell" is a song by ALICE IN CHAINS that originally appeared on the band's 1994 extended play "Jar Of Flies". The band played it on "MTV Unplugged" in 1996, and this rendition of the song was included on the compilation album "Music Bank" (1999), as well as "The Essential Alice in Chains" (2006). Since 2011, guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell dedicates "Nutshell" to ALICE IN CHAINS' late original members Layne Staley and Mike Starr during the band's concerts.
Bassist Mike Inez said of "Nutshell" when asked what song makes him think of Layne Staley the most:
I think the No. 1 for me is "Nutshell." Layne was very honest with his songwriting. And in "Nutshell," he really put everything in a nutshell for everybody. That song still gets me choked up whenever I play it. I get a little teary-eyed, and sometimes when we're doing the arena runs especially, they'll have some video footage of Layne. And I look and see me and Jerry [Cantrell, vocals and guitar] and Sean [Kinney, drums] looking the wrong way. We're not looking at the audience, we're looking back at Layne, and it's pretty cool that there's still that song for us. Yeah, it's just a sad thing.
Today's version is not any kind of version, today's "Nutshell" is made by Mark Lanegan (SCREAMING TREES, MAD SEASON) & Maggie Björklund (CALEXICO, GIANT SAND & Jack White). A tune where they perform "Nutshell" by ALICE IN CHAINS at MoPOP's Founders Award fundraiser.
The Museum of Pop Culture's one-night-only annual benefit event streamed for FREE on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 with an unforgettable performance from Seattle's own ALICE IN CHAINS, plus an acclaimed lineup of tribute artists who put their own spin on some of the band's most iconic songs.
The Founders Award event serves as the nonprofit museum’s principal annual fundraiser for youth development programs, access initiatives, community engagement, and world-class exhibitions.
"Fear Of Dying" is a song by the American rock band JACK OFF JILL from Fort Lauderdale, Florida founded in 1992 by vocalist Jessicka, drummer Tenni Ah-Cha-Cha, Agent Moulder, and guitarist Michelle Inhell. Though these four women were the initial founders, nine members rotated through the group in its life-span, including Scott Putesky, guitarist and co-founder of Marilyn Manson. The band lasted three years, with only Jessicka remaining throughout, then reunited in 2015 for a number of shows.
The tune was released on the second and final studio album "Clear Hearts Grey Flowers". Produced by Chris Vrenna of NINE INCH NAILS/TWEAKER, it was released in July 2000 on the now-defunct label Risk Records. After "Clear Hearts Grey Flowers" the band formally split up and moved on to establish other projects.
Today's version is made by POPPY, the cover mainly keeps in line with the original song. However, POPPY’s unique voice shines through on her reimagining of the track.
Heavy guitar riffs combine with POPPY’s gritty vocals and occasional screams to make a modern headbanging version of the song.
Moriah Rose Pereira, professionally known as POPPY, is an American singer-songwriter, director, producer, author, actress, dancer, model and YouTuber.
POPPY has gone everywhere, from the metal stylings of “Concrete” and Grimes collab “Play Destroy,” to the pop-critiquing acoustic track “Pop Music.” With her first new music of the year, “Fear Of Dying” shows that POPPY will always unabashedly experiment with her sound as an artist. That sentiment is reflected in the very song she chose to cover, with lyrics about not being afraid of speaking your mind and try your best.
“I think artists come in all forms, and you are a product of your own influence,” POPPY said in her debut Alternative Press cover with Ghostemane in 2020. “I make it my mission every day to try and learn something or try something new because you’re only here on Earth for a short time, and I just think that it’s important to keep pushing yourself and your boundaries and where you think that you can go and surprising yourself. Otherwise, you get boring. At least for me, I feel really bored. I don’t really look around at other artists and think that it’s disappointing. Everyone has their own path. I can only speak for myself, that I can get very bored if I’m not trying to constantly learn something."
Today's tune "Fear Of Dying", a pretty faithful cover of JACK OFF JILL’s tune. A song that laid the groundwork for POPPY to remain on the heavier side but eventually release more harder rock tracks with melody. It was released as a single on May 26th, 2021.
Here is "Fear Of Dying" LIVE @ Lodge Room 9/29/2021
"I've Been Everywhere" is a song written by Australian country singer Geoff Mack in 1959, and made popular by Lucky Starr in 1962.
The song as originally written listed Australian towns. It was later adapted by Australian singer Rolf Harris with English and Scottish toponyms (1963), and by John Hore (later known as John Grenell) with New Zealand toponyms (1966). In 1962, the song was a number-one US country hit for Hank Snow. The song was also recorded by Lynn Anderson (US 1970), ASLEEP At THE WHEEL (US 1973), Johnny Cash (US 1996), Ted Egan, the "Farrelly Brothers" from the television series The Aunty Jack Show (Australia 1974, a parody version, on the album Aunty Jack Sings Wollongong), John Grenell (NZ 1966), Mike Ford (Canada, 2005), The Sunny Cowgirls and the Statler Brothers. Harvey Reid also included the song in his Dreamer or Believer album.
In 2021, supergroup L.A. Rats, which consists of Rob Zombie, Nikki Sixx, John 5, and Tommy Clufetos, covered the song for most all-star covers typically were tied to soundtracks. That’s the case here with L.A. Rats when covering “I’ve Been Everywhere” for Netflix film, "The Ice Road" soundtrack. The oft-covered track was initially performed by Geoff Mack, became popularized by country legend Johnny Cash and takes a grittier turn here with Zombie’s energetic vocal and the rocked-up backing.
"The Spirit of Radio" is a song released in 1980 by the Canadian rock band RUSH from their album "Permanent Waves". The song's name was inspired by Toronto radio station CFNY-FM's slogan. It was significant in the growing popularity of the band, becoming their first top 30 single in Canada and reaching number 51 on the US Hot 100. It remains one of RUSH's best-known songs and was a concert staple until their retirement. Originally written by Neil Peart, Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson, and performed by RUSH.
"The Spirit of Radio" features the band experimenting with a reggae style in its closing section. Reggae would be explored further on the band's next three records, Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure. The group had experimented with reggae-influenced riffs in the studio and had come up with a reggae introduction to "Working Man" on their tours, so they decided to incorporate a passage into "The Spirit of Radio", and as Lifeson said, "to make us smile and have a little fun".
Today's version is made by the American choral rock band THE POLYPHONIC SPREE, they are from Dallas, Texas that was formed in 2000 by singer/songwriter Tim DeLaughter. The band's pop and rock songs are augmented by a large vocal choir, and instruments such as flute, trumpet, french horn, trombone, violin, viola, cello, percussion, piano, guitars, bass, drums, electronic keyboards, and EWI.

"Nausea" is a tune by the American rock band X, taken from the debut studio album "Los Angeles", released on April 26, 1980, by Slash Records. It was produced by ex-DOORS keyboardist Ray Manzarek and includes a cover of the 1967 DOORS song "Soul Kitchen".
The tune "Nausea" was performed in the 1981 rockumentary The Decline of Western Civilization, and later in 2008 in the Germs biopic film What We Do Is Secret.
Today's version is with Violet Grohl, the 15-year-old daughter of FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl, where she teamed with her dad for a stunning cover of the American rock band X, together they performs the song "Nausea" on Jimmy Kimmel Live, enjoy!
The classic tune “Pull Away/So Many Times” is on "Hard Attack", the second album by American hard rock band DUST, released by Kama Sutra Records in 1972. Cover art is a work previously published by Frank Frazetta titled “Snow Giants”.
DUST was an American hard rock band formed in the late 60’s. It is also known as a pre-punk band. The group formed in the year 1968, with guitarist and vocalist Richie Wise, bassist Kenny Aaronson and drummer Marc Bell. After the end of the band, drummer Marc Bell under the pseudonym of Marky Ramone, went to play in the RAMONES. Kenny Aaronson was part of some bands, including STORIES and BLUE ÖYSTER CULT. Richie Wise and Kenny Kerner produced KISS. Kenny Kerner participated in the DUST writing the lyrics of the group and as its producer.
Today's cover version is made by the multinational rock band LUCIFER, the tune was released as a split single with KADAVAR, enjoy!
"The End" is an epic song by the American rock band THE DOORS. Lead singer Jim Morrison initially wrote the lyrics about his break up with his girlfriend Mary Werbelow, but it evolved through months of performances at the Whisky a Go Go into a much longer song. THE DOORS recorded a nearly 12-minute version for their self-titled debut album, which was released on January 4, 1967.
Today's version is by the Danish indie rock duo THE RAVEONETTES, consisting of Sune Rose Wagner on guitar, instruments and vocals, and Sharin Foo on bass, guitar and vocals. Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies inspired by THE EVERLY BROTHERS coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 1950s and 1960s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats, and often dark lyrical content (e.g., crime, drugs, murder, suicide, love, lust, and betrayal), similar to another of the band's influences, THE VELVET UNDERGROUND.
Today's tune "The End", by THE RAVEONETTES can be found on the compilation album "A Psych Tribute To The Doors". Features performances by THE BLACK ANGELS, THE RAVEONETTES, CLINIC, PSYCHIC ILLS, SONS OF HIPPIES, ELEPHANT STONE and more!
