Heard any good Beatles covers lately? This week I've got a rarity from little-known, Kansas-based funk band Chocolate Snow—A Day in the Life, which is really a cover of Wes Montgomery's reimagining of the Beatles' classic. And I bookended the show with a great original/sample pairing—Fred Williamson's Tell Her and Talib Kweli's Listen!!! Thanks again for listening, and don't forget to follow PurpleRoomRadio for show announcements and updates. This week's playlistFred Williamson & The Jewels Band
