Marc Riley has a live session from Laura J Martin ahead of the release of her second album On the Never Never.

Laura J Martin is back on the scene and gracing us with her presence tonight for a session. Her second album On The Never Never is out in a few weeks and it's amazing. It's a follow up to her debut album Dazzle Days, which was also amazing - there's a theme here.

On The Never Never was written out of frustration at her beloved Liverpool becoming yet another bland looking city. While in the US Laura had a chance conversation with Lambchop's Matt Swanson and Tony Crow which proved fruitful and they planted the seeds of an idea in Martin's head that recording in Nashville and working with Mark Nevers was a real possibility. 

Swanson and Crow join the all-star band for On The Never Never alongside Silver Jews Brian Kotzur on drums and The Jesus Lizard's Duane Denison reviving Fame-era Jimmy Johnson on electric guitar. 

We can't wait.
