Episode two features the very first installment of the recurring segment “Can You Steal it”. We compared the Mavericks song “Born to be Blue” with Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E” to see if the Mavericks might have taken a bit too much from Nat King Cole when they wrote their song. Steve Earle was featured in tonight’s cover set. Among the artists played were Patty Smyth, Crowded House, Joan As Police Woman, L Wilson, Marcia Ball and Smooth Hound Smith to name a few.
