Alexis is ill this week, but on the upside, we're delighted to have Ethan Johns in the studio: a super-producer turned solo artist. He's joining us for Singles Club, but we're also talking about his new album, If Not Now Then When.
Speaking of Singles Club, we have tracks from Cat Power, Veronica Falls and Marika Hackman
Two years ago, Miguel looked in danger of becoming an also-ran, with the breakdown of his label Jive Records. But his first album became a word-of-mouth favourite, and Adorn, the lead single from his second LP, led him to work with Alicia Keys and Beyoncé. As he embarks on a UK tour, he talks Ben Beaumont-Thomas.
Finally, Caspar Llewellyn Smith remembers Steve Goodman in our Hidden Treasures series.
Thanks for listening. Leave your thoughts below the line. Join us again next week – and have a great weekend …
