Despite the group's five superstars, the Traveling Wilburys have been covered less than you might think. Today the show investigates covers of both the few songs lots of artists cover (Handle with Care, End of the Line) and the many more Wilburys tunes that have only been covered once or twice.
Songs in this episode include:
- Headstones — Tweeter and the Monkey Man
- Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins — Handle with Care
- Dr. John ft. Aaron Neville — End Of The Line
- Petr Rezek & Karel Vágner — Jak Ty To Děláš [Congratulations]
- The Sweetback Sisters — Rattled
- Killing the Day — If You Belonged to Me
- Adrian Belew — Not Alone Anymore SHOW CONTINUES ON THE EXTENDED EDITION
- Sweet Lights — Handle with Care
- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — Tweeter and the Monkey Man
- George Harrison — If You Belonged to Me
The episode includes only clips from these songs. Full versions of these covers are in the Watching The Covers Flow Playlist.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
