The cover song has a long a bumpy history. Some say the origins of the phrase are racist, going back to when radio stations were segregated and when the black station would have a hit, producers would have a white band redo it or 'cover' it. Others think it had to do with rival artists and when one had a hit, the other would record a similar sounding song to 'cover' it. Regardless of the true origins of the phrase, in modern language it now means Madonna doing 'American Pie' or Guns-n-Roses doing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" or Michael Bolton doing "Dock of the Bay"....ech...I just threw up in my mouth.

Tonight we salute the cover song in all its sometimes-boring/sometimes-genius splendor.So tip a glass with us while we run through a playlist of cover songs for the duration of the tasting.
