Crucial John Grant

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre, plus his Crucial Vinyl is Pale Green Ghosts, released by John Grant in 2013.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre - mixing his favourite new music with classics from the UK, Europe, USA, Jamaica, Africa, Japan and way beyond.

Each week he also highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This time, to coincide with 6 Music's Loud and Proud season, it's Pale Green Ghosts, released by John Grant in 2013.

Don says, 'I became a fan of John Grant in 2010, as soon as I caught wind of his debut solo album, and things just got better from that point on. His second album Pale Green Ghosts stands out though. His humorous, sometimes brutally honest and revealing lyrics, often delivered with danceable groove, are a powerful combination. I saw him play a magnificent set on The Park Stage in Glastonbury back in 2016'.
