Gimme Back My Song Ep 17

February 28, 2022 by Balcony Radio Leave a Comment

There is no bigger compliment to a singer than someone saying, “Good song . . . I’m stealing it.” Here at Balcony Radio, we don’t have a problem with musical larceny. We actually celebrate it in a little programme we call Gimme Back My Song that highlights the best cover versions of tunes we could find. Does that mean we play Bette Midler singing the Rolling Stones? Yes, it means we play Bette Midler singing the Rolling Stones. You’re welcome.

Gimme Back My Song Ep 14 – Pop Favorites

February 11, 2019 by Balcony Radio Leave a Comment

Once you write a song, it doesn’t belong to you anymore. The Universe takes ownership. Sorry. On the bright side, The Universe lends songs out freely. And, you know what, some cover songs are freakin’ great. In this, episode 14 of Gimme Back My Song, we play the two dozen cover songs you’ll want to.
