PJ Harvey to Release Peel Sessions Collection
PJ Harvey's power is best experienced live and raw, and who better captured that energy than John Peel? The magic of the relationship between the artist and the legendary DJ will be unleashed upon the masses with the release of PJ Harvey - The Peel Sessions 1991-2004, due via Island Records in conjunction with the BBC on October 23 in the UK.
The due date falls during a month of commemorative events honoring the second anniversary of Peel's death.
Louise
Kattenhorn, Peel's former producer, said in a press release, "John
loved the sessions and was thrilled to have Polly record so many for
his show. He considered her a wonderful artist and they were great
friends."
The collection includes tracks spanning from early versions of Polly Jean's 1992 debut, Dry, to her most recent LP, 2004's Uh Huh Her.
