The Rockhouse interest in cover songs has never been high because I didn't write them and if I fail then it will be due to my own work rather than someone else's.

Tallyho!
Note: I was going to tag CD Baby with this but I don't believe I will since it would give the appearance of a kickback. Ithaka is entirely unsponsored because it's the best way to ensure you know it's unbiased by external influences.
