It was my second annual all covers show, and good garden peas, I had fun. Again started with a
Summerfest theme, which for some reason was slightly tougher to put together this year. Kevin Meyer, head honcho of
Dusty Medical Records, stopped by to talk about the
label's fifth anniversary. Erin Wolf, WMSE's music director, was kind enough to put together a
preview for the show that offers an interesting history of cover songs. Also be sure to check out Erin's great
feature on Dusty Medical.
