Five Songs and a Cover (A.K.A. 4 Stars) is an EP released by Foo Fighters on November 20, 2005. It was exclusively distributed to Best Buy retail stores. [1]
The EP is a collection of b-sides from singles from the band's 2005 album In Your Honor. The title refers to the contents: five original songs and one cover song. The cover song is Cream's " I Feel Free," which features drummer Taylor Hawkins on vocals and Dave Grohl on drums. One song on the album, " Skin and Bones," was released as a b-side to " DOA," and became a popular feature of Foo Fighters acoustic shows. All songs (with the exception of "I Feel Free") have since been re-released on streaming platforms as part of the EP " 01050525".
