I am delighted to present nine tracks selected by my very special guest and dear friend Andrew Blake. Andrew's career in music spans more than 20 years and includes stints in Primal Scream, Felt, Biff Bang Pow, Mexico 70 and Imitation Electric Piano. He takes us on a musical journey not only from the north to south of Britain and over the Atlantic, but also through his personal love of music, from the pub rock classic by Wreckless Eric "Whole Wide World" to the sophistry of Steely Dan's "Reelin' in the years."
