The Boy With The Arab Strap by Belle & Sebastian

Available for over a year

In the second series revealing insightful tales behind Classic Scottish Albums, musician Davie Scott selects 6 albums whose success changed the lives of those involved, and struck a very intimate chord in the history of music. The Boy With The Arab Strap won Belle & Sebastian 'Best Newcomer' Award at the Brit Awards in 1998. In today's programme Davie delves deep into the pockets of the album with the famously interview-shy collective, and hears from crime writer Iain Rankin about his passion for their melancholy summertime sounds.
