For Those of Us Who Still Can't Pronounce "D'yer M'ker" Correctly

What if we told you NS-NV would be playing songs from Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Nirvana?  Would you think we found documents revealing Robert Plant and Kurt Cobain’s long lost Cherokee grandmothers? Not the case, loyal listeners, for we have created an entire playlist of Native American musicians covering mainstream artists. These covers include Link Wray's tribute to fellow legend, John Fogerty, with “Run Through the Jungle,” Jack Olson exploring his inner tragic romantic with “Solitary Man” by Neil Diamond, The Police’s ode to stalking, “Every Breath You Take,” performed by Curtis Cardinal, and many more!

Many of these bands are long gone, but enjoy these modern interpretations of classic songs with a Native twist! Remember, every time you hear Jana’s cover of “Stairway to Heaven,” an angel gets its wings and an elevator key!
