Episode 109: Songs Under The Microscope, Vol. 10: I Call Your Name

In this episode, we dissect the early John Lennon song "I Call Your Name," which never found a happy home in the Beatles catalog (it was put on an EP, then a B-side, etc.). We discuss some interesting instrumental and musical features about the song, and as always, play you a variety of unique cover songs. Enjoy!
