BBC Radio 6 Music - Radcliffe and Maconie, Billy Bragg and Joe Henry

Mark Radcliffe presents solo and is joined by Billy Bragg and singer-songwriter Joe Henry.

Mark Radcliffe presents solo and is joined by Billy Bragg and US singer-songwriter Joe Henry, who talk about recording an album together while travelling across the US by train.

Mark presents the show solo, joined by bard of Barking Billy Bragg and his friend and collaborator, US singer-songwriter Joe Henry. They've made an album recording while travelling across America by train, covering railway-themed classic songs made famous by Hank Williams, Lead Belly, Glen Campbell and Gordon Lightfoot, to name but a few. It was a four-day, 65-hour train journey across the US on the Texas Eagle railroad service, so there will no doubt be tales to tell! 

Plus do an afternoon Tea Dance with the guess-the-link Teatime Themetime, and you could even be on the show! That's right! You could be on the Cha-cha-cha Chain, a long and interconnected load of music in which you suggest the link into the next track. So what are you waiting for! It's going to be FABULOUS darling.
