Jools is joined by Gretchen Peters, who picks her favourite records and plays a version of the Box Tops' The Letter with Jools and the band.

Gretchen Peters guests, picking her favourite records and playing a version of The Box Tops' "The Letter" with Jools and the band.

Inducted into the prestigious Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014, she has long been one of Music City's most
beloved and respected artists, known never to shy away from darkness and struggle in
her writing. Martina McBride's recording of her stirring "Independence Day," a song that
deals with domestic abuse, was nominated for a Grammy and took home Song of the
Year honors at the CMAs, and her work has been performed by everyone from Etta
James and Neil Diamond to George Strait and Trisha Yearwood. "If Peters never delivers
another tune as achingly beautiful as 'On A Bus To St. Cloud,'" People Magazine wrote,
"she has already earned herself a spot among country's upper echelon of contemporary
composers.".
