Darius is in for Bob, and he has exclusive new music from Brad Paisley and Ashley McBryde, as seen performing on "Later...with Jools Holland"!

Our Reissue of the Week comes from Don Williams' great new album - puzzled? You won't be! - our Horizon Artist is Liverpudlian Simon Howard, and there are classics from Zach Bryan, Alabama and Shania too!

A highlight of Radio 2's recent Piano Room season, country superstar Darius Rucker is a multi-million selling artist in not one, but two genres! He started off as the lead singer of Hootie & The Blowfish - first album went platinum 22 times over! - and then transitioned into a solo career as a country star, with signature hits like the billion-streaming "Wagon Wheel", which he performed to huge acclaim at last year's Opry 100 celebration in London's Royal Albert Hall.

Currently recording a new album in London, he's found time to sit in for the legendary Bob Harris, who is taking a break for a few weeks.
