Engines on Song

on BBC Radio 4 FM

When a car engine is in tune, it is said to be "on song".
Singer/songwriter Chris Rea and experimental guitarist Jeff Beck join Alun Lewis for 15 minutes of songs, stories and gratuitous engine revs. And, with the help of James May from Top Gear, why different cylinder engines can give such evocative sounds. Producer Helen Sharp
