412 - The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald - The CoverUp
Episode 412
Monday, 17 November, 2025
One of the great folk songs of the modern era captures the spirit — and the historical record — of maritime tragedy, and the cover that knows it stuff as well as the original. The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald, originally by Gordon Lightfoot, covered by Simon Barr Sinister. Outro music is the theme from Underdog, because how could it not be.
