Wilko Johnson: A cult hero of rock music
In an interview from 2017, Stephen Sackur speaks to Wilko Johnson, a rock music cult hero who first rose to prominence with the British band Dr Feelgood in the 1970s.
We're all familiar with rock music's living legends, but perhaps more intriguing are rock and roll鈥檚 cult heros - the artists who've inspired other artists without getting massive rewards. Wilko Johnson fits that bill. His raw guitar sound in the band Dr Feelgood paved the way for punk, and he kept on rocking through cancer, depression and changing musical tastes. In 2017, he spoke to Stephen Sackur about what kept him going.
