The Culture Show: 8x1

Episode 1

Lauren Laverne kicks off a new series with Mark Kermode gaining a rare interview with Canadian country music star Neil Young. The acclaimed songwriter talks about his forthcoming album Chrome Dreams 2 and looks back at the changes of direction his music has taken over the past four decades. Elsewhere, Quentin Tarantino provides a masterclass in creating the perfect movie soundtrack, Andrew Graham-Dixon takes an aerial tour of Britain’s land art, and Tim Samuels saturates a Scottish village with copies of this year’s Booker-nominated novels to find out who gets the villagers’ vote for the prize. Plus music from Oxford indie trio the Young Knives.
