How Do I Get Cover Songs?

Post by shooter »

I'm looking to compile a set of JB's cover songs for a Christmas present. There's about 40 songs from the "List of Cover Songs" on the BN Song & Lyrics Database that I'd love to find, download and convert to a play list or disc. Anyone know where I can find those and how to do it?

I was going to suggest cross referencing the Cover Songs list to the shows posted on the jokelben site. It seems, however, that jokelben is currently not available. I don't know if it is down for server maintenance or if the site owner temporarily took it down... :(

There are both studio and live versions of many of the songs that Jimmy has covered over the years. If you are talking about compiling just live versions then jokelben is a good place to start. However not not every live performance listed on the cover song list is available so if you could provide some more details I am sure either myself or Sunlover can assist you.

There are 11 out of the 40 that are on the jokelben list - I have no preference for live or not at this point - just trying to see if I can make this happen - I can email you the list of the songs if that would help - I really appreciate it
