Wilco & Jeff Tweedy's writing on music

From New Horizons, 5:30 pm on 28 January 2024

After relaxing over summer to the music of Wilco, William Dart starts this year's series of New Horizons by also looking at what Jeff Tweedy is writing about the music of others, with a few surprises along the way.

William samples from Tweedy's two books: How To Write One Song, and World Within a Song.
