This week, we take our show under cover, celebrating that brazen artistic move that traces all the way back to music's oldest roots in folk tradition. NOTE: Quiet Riot was not harmed during the making of this podcast.

The categories are:

(1) Best faithful cover

(2) Best revisionist cover

(3) Cover that shouldn't work, but somehow does

(4) Cover that's better than the original

Featuring music from Aretha Franklin, Ministry, Punch Brothers, and more.
