410 - (53) Hound Dog - The CoverUp

from The CoverUp · host Amanda and Rich Friedeman

We revisit episode 53, with one of the most important songs in the history of rock and roll, an incredible original, a hugely successful but also problematic cover, and … well, a great artist who stepped outside of his comfort zone. Hound Dog, originally by Big Momma Thornton, covered by Elvis Presley, and by James Taylor. Newly added outro music is Ball 'n Chain, also by Big Momma Thornton.
