Michael Ball sits in with Jack Johnson choosing the Tracks of My Years

Michael Ball sits in for Ken, as Hawaiian-born folk rock singer Jack Johnson picks his favourite songs in Tracks of My Years, with music from Bill Withers and The Cure.

Acoustic singer and film maker Jack Johnson chooses two more songs in the Tracks Of My Years. For his midweek selection, Jack picks a wonderfully evocative hit by Bill Withers along with one of the strongest songs by The Cure, which Jack reveals became an unlikely wedding track. There's another round of the PopMaster music quiz and Michael reads more love song dedications.
