Join Bob for the very best in country music, tonight with My Darling Clementine in session.

My Darling Clementine are the brainchild of longtime British alt.country stalwart Michael Weston King & his partner - musical & romantic - Lou Dalgleish. Together they've recorded "How Do You Plead", an album of Country duets with echoes of those great Country duet albums of the Sixties and Seventies like George and Tammy, Porter and Dolly - the lists goes on & on!

Michael Weston King is widely acknowledged as one of Britain's finest singer songwriters, Admired by the likes of Chris Hillman, Ron Sexsmith, Jackie Leven, and the legendary Townes van Zandt (who recorded one of his songs), he draws his influence from a wide range of styles, from Pop to Folk, from Country to Soul, from Gospel to Blues. He is the former leader of U.K. alt.country pioneers The Good Sons, with whom he made 4 critically acclaimed albums in a seven year career.

MOJO magazine wrote "The band who must rate as England's very own Uncle Tupelo. A truly thrilling collection.", while www.americana-uk.com said "The British band that played alt. country before anyone knew what the hell it was."

For the past eight years he has been a solo troubadour, touring all over the world, performing with the likes of Nick Cave, John Cale, Roger McGuinn, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, America, Chris Hillman, Nils Lofgren, Ron Sexsmith, Arlo Guthrie, Steve Forbert, Son Volt, and many more, and releasing 6 studio albums, 3 live albums .

"As fine a singer songwriter as Gram Parsons" CHRIS HILLMAN

"...a voice part Nashville balladeer and part Alt Country hero...a cross between Nick Cave and Rodney Crowell." THE INDEPENDENT.
