Hello,
How great was the Chess Records documentary last week? Etta James has definitely earned a few extra plays in this writer's house off the back of it. It's always great to get another chance to watch Blues Britannia too, I think I've seen that programme about six times now.

This week we have a triple bill of Brian Eno, Leonard Cohen and Robert PlantÌýsized highlights.
Enjoy;

Friday 19 November - Ö÷²¥´óÐã Two
2405 - 2505: Later… with Jools Holland
Repeated: Ö÷²¥´óÐã Two - Saturday 2320
Joining Jools in the studio for the tenth and final live show of this series is the legendary Robert Plant, who performs tracks from his recent Band Of Joy album. Arcade Fire are also in the studio with a couple of tunes from their chart-topping The Suburbs set. Soul and gospel legend Mavis Staples showcases tracks from her Jeff Tweedy-produced album You Are Not Alone. From Nashville Tennessee and making their TV debut are Mona, who describe their high-octane rock and roll as the sound of chainsaws dancing, and Adele will be making a welcome return to the studio to preview a track from her second album due in early 2011.
