The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week, a defining voice of modern American roots music, Gillian Welch, and her guitarist partner David Rawlings, talk to Mark about Gillian's new album.

A series of events including contractual deadlines and tornadoes blowing into Nashville (threatening an archive of unfinished songs) led to the hasty creation of 'Boots No. 2: The Lost Songs, Vol. 1', the first in a run of releases that will capture Gillian and David recording in an easy, relaxed state which has already garnered glowing reviews. Even Gillian and David's least polished material offers moving and memorable vignettes, melodies, playing and singing.

Plus the usual blend of classic tracks, exciting new releases and news from the folk world.
