» more CD Baby dis-cover-ies:
Blowin' In The Wind - Global Jazz Project
It's Alright Ma (2 versions) - Tommy & Ptolemy

» I continue to be selective about YouTube covers added to the DataBase, being "complete" would be an impossible task for a one-man operation - and there doesn't seem to be much interest in them. At present I am only adding covers from performers who feature Dylan covers (121 of the 148 recently added are from just the two Japanese singers mentioned in an earlier post,) Together Through Life songs, and select rare or unusual covers.
