The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Crucial Vinyl from Neil Young.

Each week, as well as blending his favourite new releases with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and beyond, Don highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him and features three key tracks. This week he picks Sleeps with Angels, released by Neil Young and Crazy Horse in 1994.

Don says, "This is a beautiful record inspired, in part, by the death of Kurt Cobain - indeed the title track as written as a direct response to the suicide note in which Kurt quoted some of Young's lyrics. This deeply affected Neil and, consequently, the making of this album. And yet it's not melancholy - in fact it's quite the opposite.".
