The Line-Up with Shaun Keaveny

Johnny Marr (Part 1) – Babysitters, Blues & Transcendence

Listen on

Episode notes

From forming The Smiths, to working with The The, Pet Shop Boys, Modest Mouse, Electronic, The Cribs, not to mention his solo work, sure, Johnny Marr is a bit talented. Musically transfixed from an early age, so much so that his mum sometimes used department store guitar areas as an ad hoc babysitting service (different times, best intentions), that curiosity remains happily intact. You can’t edit an in-depth chat about transcendence either, so we haven’t, we’ve just taken the lead from his aptly named latest album to split our Series 4 comeback into two parts. You’re welcome!
