298 - The Weight - The CoverUp - a podcast by Amanda and Rich Friedeman

One of the foundational songs of Americana, roots, and southern rock, by one of the most influential bands ever, covered by the most super of super-groups, and by someone who understood the original better than anyone expected. The Weight, originally by The Band, covered by Diana Ross and the Supremes and the Temptations, and by Joan Osborne. If you’re keeping count, that’s three versions. 

Outro music is Right Hand Man, also by Joan Osborne.
