Soul Salvation - A Gen X Love Letter To The English Beat: Covers
Manage episode 429330457 series 2838627
Welcome back to the Ska Boom podcast! This season is called Soul Salvation and its the companion to my new book “Soul Salvation – A Gen X Love Letter To The English Beat."
Through the book and this podcast I’m telling the story of the Special Beat Service album which embodies both the brilliance and the bittersweet end of the English Beat whose songs served as a soundtrack for thousands of Gen Xers like me.
The book and this podcast is my tribute to the band’s final, triumphant act – which initially was largely overlooked – and how their music and the love of a young woman changed me forever.
The focus of this episode is on the role that cover songs by the English Beat played early in their career and later the many covers of their songs by other musicians and bands have played in extending their influence on popular music and their enduring legacy.
My new book "Soul Salvation : A Gen X Love Letter To The English Beat" is now available for pre-sale from DiWulf.com and will be published on August 12th.
