The Love Song and Bobby Gillespie
Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie chooses the Tracks of My Years, plus another round of PopMaster. Ken also has your daily love song dedications and the record and album of the week.
Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie chooses the Tracks of My Years, all week with Ken. Born in Glasgow, he formed the successful alternative rock band back in 1982. They became a key part of the mid-1980s pop scene, but eventually moved away from their earlier jangly sound, taking on more psychedelic and garage rock influences, before incorporating a dance music element which won them the Mercury Music prize in 1992 for their third studio album 'Screamadelica'. It received universal praise from critics and has frequently been named one of the best albums of the 1990s in various polls, selling over three million copies worldwide.
Bobby recently teamed up with solo artist and Savages vocalist Jehnny Beth releasing their first album 'Utopian Ashes' last month alongside the lead single 'Remember We Were Lovers'. The collection explores the loss, miscommunication and emotional inarticulacy that a married couple experience as they realise their relationship is breaking down. The two first met in 2015 when they were both invited to perform with American duo Suicide at the Barbican. The following summer Jehnny joined Primal Scream on stage for a duet of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's 'Some Velvet Morning' which cemented their connection. In 2017 they convened in Paris for sessions, accompanied by Beth's musical partner Johnny Hostile and the rest of Primal Scream. Their earlier electronic-focused ideas gradually evolved into a richer tapestry of soul, country, blues and rock 'n' roll.
The next two tracks Bobby has chosen come from David Bowie and Thin Lizzy. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
