Episode 38 – Five on the Live: Covers

It's five on the live, and we'll be taking time to review our favorite Jack White live cuts of cover songs! In this first episode of a multi-part series exploring various songs from Jack's live performances, your humble co-hosts have picked through decades of concerts both large and small to find our five favorite cover songs that Jack White has performed live on stage. A good cover song takes the original recording and expands on it, connecting with the listener and inspiring him or her to explore more about that music. The cover songs Jack White chooses to play tend to do just that - reaffirming his status as a key modern music tastemaker. From finger-pickin' with the Beatles, to keeping it clean (and dirty) with bluesman Charley Jordan, to rolling with the actual stones, these re-inventions of classic tunes have opened up all new musical avenues for us - and we bring it all straight to you! Plus in our continuing "fell in love with a show" segment, Third Woman Suzannah Rowntree gives us the dirt (and the truth in it) on Karen Elson's recent performance at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. So give a little drink from this podcast cup! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
