We are in the middle of Thanksgiving week and Wednesday afternoon on The AIR , we bring you a fresh new episode of Beatles Blast filled with…interesting…covers of Beatles tunes.  You can tune in at the website, or just stay right here and  listen to the convenient embedded radio player lurking elsewhere on this page.

At 2 PM (EDT) Beatles Blast takes an hour to thrill you with another mixtape collection of a variety of artists offering their unique takes on songs written by John, Paul or George.  You’re going to get the music of the Fab Four filtered through the lens of Surf, Swing, alternative rock, punk, easy listening, Heavy Metal and more, as we push the boundaries just a bit with these covers of Beatles and solo Beatle songs. Heck, we even begin the show with George singing a Ringo tune…that was written for him by George.

Check out the playlist…
