This is the first book to explore the most iconic covers ever, from Elvis's 'Hound Dog' and the Rolling Stones' 'Not Fade Away' to Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed and Confused', The Talking Heads' 'Take Me to the River' and Adele's 'Make You Feel My Love'. Written by the founder of the website covermesongs.com, each chapter investigates the origins of a classic cover and uses it as a framework to tell the larger story of how cover songs have evolved over the decades.
