What's In Vernon's Vault Today?

Visionary performer and ex-Talking Heads frontman David Byrne picks two more songs in Tracks Of My Years. Plus there's more music quizzing in Ten To The Top.

Visionary performer and ex-Talking Heads frontman David Byrne takes us on his ten song journey in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

Born in Scotland before spending part of his childhood in Canada, David first came to widespread attention in the hugely influential band Talking Heads, of which he was a founding member, principal songwriter, lead singer, and guitarist.

Although officially a solo artist since 1989, David was dabbling with other work even during the early days of Talking Heads, and over his career he's collaborated with the likes of Brian Eno, X-Press 2, St Vincent, Fatboy Slim and Arcade Fire.

Plus there's the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the 蜜芽传媒 Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask 蜜芽传媒 Sounds to play Vernon Kay.
