This Week's Music for Grown-Ups on Radio/TV

Your exclusive listening/watching guide… thanks to compiler Mike Ollier:

RADIO

Weds BBC2 23.00 ~ 23.30
* The Coal Miner's Daughter: The Loretta Lynn story
A repeat of the Loretta's rags-to-riches story arc.

Thurs BBCR2 22.00 ~ 23.00
* Seven More Days That Rocked The World: Alan Freed: Payola Scandal (5/7). At last, a decent story that perhaps lives up to the title for once.

Fri BBCR6 21.00 ~ 22.00
* Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan: Colours
If Carling made radio programmes, they would be like this! Another wonderfully warm and witty hour with Bob and the likes of Jimi Hendrix et al.

Fri BBCR3 22.30 ~ 23.30
* Jazz Library
Buddy Rich bangs some things.

Fri BBCR3 23.30 ~ 01.00
* Jazz On Three
Drummer Jeff 'Tain' Watts recorded at the Jazz Café, London and featuring David Gilmour on guitar.

TV

Don't miss the greatest TV drama ever, as The Sopranos (E4, Sundays and repeats Tuesdays) moves menacingly towards its finale, with its usual great soundtrack.

Fri BBC4 20.30 ~ 21.00
* Transatlantic Sessions
Second of a six part series featuring the cream of the Irish/Scottish music community playing in session with Americana acts. Music directors are dobro-man Jerry Douglas and fiddler Aly Bain. This week features Eddi Reader.

Fri BBC4 21.00 ~22.30
* Factory: Manchester from Joy Division to Happy Mondays
The story of Tony (sorry, Anthony) Wilson, the Hacienda, Factory Records and Manchester's rise on the popular culture tide of the late ‘70s/early ‘80s. Excellent.
