In this week’s episode we chat with the fabulous singer and songwriter Jo Harrop. We chat about her new album 'The Heart Wants', working with Christian McBride, being feted by Iggy Pop, playing on the London scene, and responding to the joys and pains of life through song-writing. There’s lots of laughs, some deep dives into the healing power of music, an exceptionally complex quiz(o), and some great album recommendations including: Sweet Bitter Love by Aretha Franklin (1967) released on Sony Sarah Vaughan (with Clifford Brown) by Sarah Vaughan (1955) released on EmArcy Every song ever by Tom Waits (what a big cheat by Jo!)
