It's the final show for the series and William grabs together a few things that he wasn't able to slot into earlier programmes: Mavis Staples singing Stephen Foster's 'Hard Times'; a few tracks from American singer/songwriter Michael Schiefel who's missed out on inclusion several times; Colorado singer Josephine Foster's latest disc; a new disc from country artist Robbie Fulks; and the Nonesuch Records release, Sing Me the Songs, celebrating the music of Kate McGarrigle.
