The First Time With... Series 22 - 3. Nancy Sinatra


THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 22 - 3. NANCY SINATRA (320kbs-m4a/128mb/56mins)

BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 11th October 2020

Matt welcomes showbiz royalty to The First Time as he talks to Nancy Sinatra about the first key musical moments in her life and career to date.

With signature hit 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin' and the worldwide number one 'Somethin' Stupid' (a duet with her father Frank) she was given the honour of performing the title song for the James Bond film 'You Only Live Twice' in 1967. Nancy and her musical collaborator Lee Hazlewood went on to be became counter-culture icons.

In 2003 Quentin Tarantino brought their music to a new generation by using their cover of Cher's 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)' in the film 'Kill Bill'. And in 2004 the album 'Nancy Sinatra' was released, featuring an impressive mix of musicians influenced by her work including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, U2, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker and her former LA next door neighbour Morrissey, with each artist writing a song for Nancy to perform.

In this interview recorded back in 2015, and never before aired, Nancy talks about her childhood, her first steps into the music business and her friendship with Elvis Presley. We also hear what it was like to work with the legendary Frank Sinatra, Lee Hazlewood, and session band The Wrecking Crew.

The First Time With... Series 22 - 2. Chuck D


THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 22 - 2. CHUCK D (320kbs-m4a/128mb/56mins)

BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 4th October 2020

Chuck D shares his musical milestones, in conversation with Matt Everitt.

As the leader of rap group Public Enemy, which he co-founded in 1985 with Flavor Flav, Chuck D helped create politically and socially conscious hip hop music in the mid-1980s. After hearing demo track "Public Enemy Number One", fledgling producer Rick Rubin insisted on signing him to his Def Jam label and Public Enemy went on to release genre defining, land-scape changing albums such as 'Yo! Bum Rush the Show' in 1987, 'It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' in 1988, 'Fear of a Black Planet' in 1990, and 'Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black' in 1991.

Chuck D has collaborated with artists such as Janet Jackson, Kool Moe Dee, The Dope Poet Society, Run–D.M.C., Ice Cube, Sheryl Crow, Rage Against the Machine, Anthrax, George Clinton, Meat Loaf, Henry Rollins, John Mellencamp, The Go! Team and many others. He also appeared on Sonic Youth's 1990 single 'Kool Thing'.

Alongside his music projects he continues to be an activist, author, publisher, lecturer, producer, radio presenter, and is the voice of DJ Forth Right MC in the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of their landmark third album, 'Fear Of A Black Planet', Chuck D has recently curated an art exhibition of original visual works inspired by the music, legacy and history of Public Enemy.

In this episode Matt talks to Chuck D about the first key musical moments in his life and career to date as well as Public Enemy's return to Def Jam and the release of their new album 'What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down?'

The First Time With... Series 22 - 1. Stuart Murdoch Of Belle And Sebastian


THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 22 - 1. STUART MURDOCH OF BELLE AND SEBASTIAN (320kbs-m4a/127mb/56mins)

BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 27th September 2020

Stuart Murdoch, the frontman of indie pop collective Belle and Sebastian, talks to Matt about the first key musical moments in his life and career to date.

Belle and Sebastian were formed in Glasgow in 1994 by Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David, both of whom had enrolled at Stow College's Beatbox programme for unemployed musicians. Together, with music professor Alan Rankine (formerly of The Associates), they recorded some demos, which were picked up by the college's Music Business course that produces and releases one single each year on the college's label, Electric Honey. As the band had a number of songs already and the label was extremely impressed with the demos, Belle and Sebastian were allowed to record a full-length album 'Tigermilk', which was recorded mostly live over three days. The warm reception the album received inspired Murdoch and David to turn the band into a full-time project, recruiting Stevie Jackson (guitar and vocals), Isobel Campbell (cello/vocals), Chris Geddes (keys) and Richard Colburn (drums) to fill out the group. They signed with Jeepster in 1996 and recorded their second album 'If You're Feeling Sinister' to critical acclaim. By 1999 the band was awarded with Best Newcomer (for their third album) at the BRIT Awards, upsetting better-known acts such as Steps and 5ive.

In this episode, recorded back in 2013 and never before aired, Stuart talks about the song that haunted him after his first heartbreak, head-banging at his first gig at Ayr Pavillion, and his many influences including The Smiths and The Stone Roses. He also talks about the band's early days in Glasgow, cracking America, and working with production legend Trevor Horn. Stuart also talks to Matt about living with chronic fatigue syndrome and his Dad's honest appraisals of his songs.

Bob Dylan's Big Freeze


BOB DYLAN'S BIG FREEZE (320kbs-m4a/130mb/57mins)

BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 9th December 2020

Bob Harris tells the story of Bob Dylan's extraordinary two month stay in London during the freezing winter of 1962-3. We hear from the people who bumped into him and sent him on his way, from the folk clubs of Accrington to the tailors of Carnaby Street.

In the summer of 1962, Dylan had been spotted by BBC director Phillip Saville in a Greenwich Village basement and invited over to appear in Evan Jones's play, Madhouse On Castle Street. Receiving a fee of 500 guineas, Dylan duly flew to London to star alongside David Warner.

While he was in London, Dylan stayed with Martin Carthy, who remembers chopping up a piano for firewood during that long cold winter! While in London, Dylan became a regular figure on the burgeoning folk club circuit.

Eventually, under the pseudonym of Blind Boy Grunt, Dylan also cut an LP, recorded in the basement of Dobell's record shop on Charing Cross Road with the help of a crate of Guinness.

Dylan's eight week stay resulted in a burst of original songs (including Don't Think Twice It's Alright, Bob Dylan's Dream) which were heavily influenced by his exposure to traditional English folk.

First broadcast on Radio 2 in November 2008, and repeated to complement the 6 Music Michael Kiwanuka Artist Collection.

Alexei also hears how their 'Magical Mystery Tour' film was made and came to debut on BBC 1 on Boxing Day.
