Gary Davies sits in with Tim Booth choosing his Tracks Of My Years

Tim Booth, lead singer of 'James', reveals his musical inspirations this week. Plus record and album of the week, the return of De Ja Woo and Ten To The Top at 1030.

Gary sits in for Vernon, and Tim Booth, lead singer of 'James', reveals his musical inspirations in Tracks Of My Years.

Tim Booth, lead singer and co-founder of indie rock band James, who gave us anthems like 鈥楽it Down鈥� and 鈥楽he鈥檚 a Star鈥�, selects the songs that shaped his life in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

James recently celebrated 40 years together, but they began when Tim met the future bandmates in the student union cellar bar at Manchester University. They stormed the 1990s with four top ten hits and reunited in 2007, landing five top ten albums.

They鈥檒l be touring their latest album 鈥榊ummy鈥� in June, culminating at London鈥檚 O2, which will be the first time the band have played the 20,000 capacity venue.

Away from the band, Tim has written a novel called 鈥榃hen I Died for the First Time鈥� and has also worked as an actor in 鈥楤atman Begins鈥�.

His next two choices come from Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen.

Plus De Ja Woo, Record and Album Of The Week, and the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.

Whatever you're up to, Gary wants to hear from you. And if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
