Johnny Marr chooses his Tracks Of My Years
Johnny Marr picks his Tracks Of My Years all this week, plus there's a new Album and Record Of The Week, more from the 91Èȱ¬ Archive in Vernon's Vault and, of course, Ten To The Top.
Guitar legend and former member of The Smiths Johnny Marr picks his Tracks Of My Years all this week.
Having first found success as the guitarist and co-songwriter of The Smiths, Johnny released his first solo album The Messenger in 2013, and last month he brought us ‘Spirit Power’, his first solo compilation album, with each and every track curated by Johnny himself. And it's a boom time for Johnny's fans as he's also released a photographic book called 'Marr's Guitars', showcasing the most significant of Johnny’s collection of electric and acoustic guitars.
Johnny's first two tracks are from Eddie Cochran and The Hollies.
Also, there'll be more audio nuggets from the 91Èȱ¬ Archive in Vernon's Vault; a brand new Record and Album Of The Week and the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.
Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
