When all else fails, when our compass is broken, there is one thing some of us have come to rely on: music really can give us a sense of something like home.

With It Gets Me Home, This Curving Track, legendary music critic IanPenman reaches for a vanished moment in musical history when cultures collided and a certain kind of cross-generational and 'cross-colour' awareness was born. His cast of characters includes the Mods, James Brown, CharlieParker, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John Fahey, Steely Dan and Prince - black artists who were innovators, and white musicians who copied them for the mainstream.
