152 - Blue Suede Shoes - The CoverUp

This week's episode is something to be thankful for. One of the defining songs not just of rock and roll, but of modern teen culture, by the only two artists who could have defined a culture so completely in a 2 minute song. Blue Suede Shoes, originally by Carl Perkins, covered by Elvis Presley.

Outro music is Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie, for obvious reasons.
