Five Songs and a Cover by Foo Fighters
Five Songs and a Cover is an EP by Foo Fighters, released in 2005. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Skin and Bones”, on 6 lists with a best position of #53.
Five Songs and a Cover does exactly what it says on the tin. Foo Fighters put it out on November 20, 2005, sold only through Best Buy, gathering up the B-sides from the singles off that year's In Your Honor, the two-disc set split between acoustic songs and louder material. Nick Raskulinecz produced, and the leftovers have the loose, easygoing feel of a band emptying its pockets.
Among the five originals is "Skin and Bones", first tucked away on the flip of "DOA", which grew into a favorite of the band's acoustic shows. The cover is the fun part: Cream's "I Feel Free", with the roles swapped, Taylor Hawkins singing and Dave Grohl back behind the drums, where he made his name in Nirvana. It also went by the nickname 4 Stars.
