435 - Only Women Bleed - The CoverUp
Episode 435
Monday, 27 April, 2026

A powerful, insightful, and moving song from someone who, on the surface, is the unlikeliest source, and two covers that drive the point home in an unbelievably compelling way. Only Women Bleed, originally by Ailce Cooper, covered by Etta James, and by Ike Turner featuring Tina Turner. Outro music is Welcome To My Nightmare, also by Alice Coper.
