Steve catches up with the ever-enigmatic PJ Harvey, who talks about the inspiration behind her latest album, Let England Shake.

Folk songstress and master of atmospherics PJ Harvey joins Steve for an in depth interview on her new album 'Let England Shake' ahead of its release on Monday. In an exclusive Album of the Day+, which see 6 Music playing every track in full for the first time anywhere, Harvey talks frankly about her refusal to go over old ground, her sensitivity to current events and the possibility of acting as a 'song correspondent' on the frontline. She also talks of her love of the Dorset countryside.

Plus Steve meets another Good Day Bad Day caller to find out about their musical history and digs out another lost 45 from his extensive collection. Plus some more amazing music from the likes of The Faces, Faithless and The Futureheads.
