A crate digger if you will. Here is my compilation/mix tape of 18 original classic songs that you may not have known were created and recorded by other artists. Many songs made popular by Elvis, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix etc. were actually cover songs of lesser known artists. There are dozens and dozens of these in pop culture, but these 18 tracks are my personal favorite. This is not technically a "mix", but more of a compilation. Enjoy your history lesson.
