Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer DONOVAN has released close to thirty albums throughout his career...On another edition of his ALBUM CUTS: DEEP DIVE, host Bill Ludwig feels that too many of Donovan's album cuts may have been overlooked. So Bill spins MANY of these overlooked DONOVAN tunes in the latest DEEP DIVE - DONOVAN...

23 covers of Beatles songs by 23 artists in 75 minutes ~ And these are not your typical note-for-note cover songs. These artists from around the world push the envelope & come up with some interesting sounds...Enjoy!

The Bee Gees achieved their greatest commercial success during their "disco/dance" period. But Bill maintains that their best non-hit songs are from their pre- and post-disco output. He offers 27 TUNES to prove his point. Hear what you may have been missing!

The Beatles covered about 25 songs by other artists on their commercially released studio albums (& not counting the BBC Recordings & Decca Audition songs). We've chosen the top 8 songs [one for each day in a Beatles Week] covered by the Fabs (in a totally subjective list)...Yeah Yeah Yeah

Steve Ludwig, host of Steve Ludwig's Classic Pop Culture at PlanetLudwig.com, chooses his totally subjective Top Ten Garage Songs of the 60's. He'll count down the list from 10 to 1, and afterwards Steve will tell you who's who and who sang what, just in case you needed a reminder. Enjoy!

You wanted more twist instrumentals, you've got five more twist instrumentals!
