“No other programme switches styles like we do” said the usually umimpeachable Laura Rawlings on last week’s BCB Sessions. Taking this carelessly uttered boast as a challenge this week When Big Joan Sets Up united the worlds of country music and drone rock by having two featured LP’s, one, “Kitty Wells Dresses” the new one by the godlike Laura Cantrell and two, the new limited edition live LP “Agathi Live 09-10” by drone rock titans Sunn O))).

Laura Cantrell

In placing these two previously disparate styles of music together in one programme we hoped to uncover previously unnoticed common ground thus bringing the human race one step closer to the utopia of mutual tolerence and peaceful co existence that we all crave.

But er..it didin’t.
