Things get sinful as Jennifer Lucy Allan shares musical tales of immorality.

Things get sinful as Jennifer Lucy Allan explores the dark underbelly of music, from bawdy blues and feral folk to crude calypso and naughty North Carolina mountain singing.

Throughout history, in every corner of the world and across musical genres, there have been tales of sinful deeds and bad behaviour. For a special sinful episode of Late Junction, Jennifer Lucy Allan digs into the dark underbelly of music to shine a light on some of these tales of immorality. 
 
There’ll be bawdy blues from Japanese folk musician Kan Mikami, and feral folk from Geordie troubadour Richard Dawson inspired by an unruly school trip to Featherstone castle in Northumberland. There’s a collaboration from early calypso recording stars Lord Executor and Atilla The Hun comparing their favoured vices, and some naughty ballads from the North Carolina mountains recorded in 1939.
 
Plus elsewhere, new releases from the likes of Montréal sonic experimenter Kee Avil, rumba rhythms from Sao Tomé and Principe group África Negra, and a collection of the voice works of American composer Charlie Morrow. 
 
Produced by Katie Callin and Gabriel Francis.
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3.
