On Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Charles Garrett, we continue our conversation on the history of cover music through the ages. After decades of successful cover music, the 80, 90's, and early 2000's bring about a decline in the cover music scene as a rise in both anti-establishment genres and pop stardom favor the original over the cover artist. The hip hop and rap scenes add further challenges for covering, but introduce the "cousins" of the cover, the sample and remix, bringing about a new world of musical sharing. Finally, the Youtube and American Idol era mark a return to cover music and continued growth in music technology suggests a potentially bright future for music collaboration and covering. Listen to Dr. Garrett discuss how AI may be the musical technology of the future, as well as answer questions about his favorite covers, his favorite Beatle, and who he would draft for his fantasy rock band. Enjoy.
