The Sound of the City: 1: New Orleans

on BBC Radio 2

Presenter Charlie Gillett, author of the 1970 book on which the title of this eight-part series is based, explores the ways that unique combinations of instruments, voices and rhythms have defined the pop, rock and soul sound of individual cities - like Detroit, Nashville, New York and Memphis, as well as Johannesburg and Havana. Featured in the series are Edwin Starr, Sam Phillips, Emmylou Harris and Richard Gottehrer.
With guest Taj Mahal, who also features on Paul Jones's show tomorrow at 8pm.
