Two weeks ago we began our two-part feature highlighting artists performing works by other writers, then we took a week off to celebrate Labor Day, a Sing Out! Radio Magazine tradition. This week, we pick up where we left off with some great cover tunes by Kate Rusby, Eilen Jewell, Bonny Prince Billy, Jesse Colin Young and many more. You’ll find yourself singing along all through the program. They sing the songs … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
