Crucial Way Beyond Nashville

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre, plus his Crucial Vinyl is Way Beyond Nashville, a compilation exploring the variety of country music and its influences.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and he bends his own Crucial Vinyl rules to include a compilation album.

Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, Don highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him, and features three key tracks. This week it's Way Beyond Nashville, the third volume of a series of compilations demonstrating the variety of country music, its roots and influences.

Don says, "Subtitled 'Welcome to the Twisted Heart of Country Music', this compilation is an alternative take on the form, and includes versions of tunes by Snoop
Dogg and Run DMC, alongside cuts from Martha Wainwright, Merle Haggard and Jeb Loy Nichols. In true C&W style, it'll make you laugh and cry.".
