The Lowdown investigates & discusses the topic of Cover Versions that truly matter.

We explore what exactly a Cover Version is, & how some Cover Versions have become more popular than the original song. Sometimes with a radically different style, & at other times, virtually indistinguishable from the original.

What makes them better than the original? Is it record sales? Or is it the effect that the Cover Version has had upon a whole new generation of listeners, grabbing the attention of a new demographic of fan allowing them to discover the original artists’ music & back catalogue?

In this episode, get the Lowdown upon Cover Versions that truly matter - with discussions upon classics like 'Wonderwall', 'A Hard Rain’s A Gonna Fall' & 'Whole Lotta Love' - & hear why songs from artists like Tori Amos, The Fugees, Joe Cocker & Van Halen are truly Cover Versions that matter!
