Greetings from Coverville for Thursday morning.

It is Thursday, April 9th, 2026.

I'm Brian Abbott, and welcome to a cover story of Coverville with a little asterisk after it.

Primarily Al Green, the music of Al Green, the songs you know, love and happiness.

Let's stay together.

Here I am.

Come and Take Me and more.

People love covering his music because he's got so much soul.

And it's, he's such a great songwriter.

That his music just lends itself really well to interpretation from, from several

different bands, from things, you know, from, from, from not just blues bands, but rock bands,

metal bands and even a new wave band called the Talking Heads.

Of course, talking heads, Heads had a big hit.
