The Zutons

EPISODE .103

After a 16 year break, The Zutons are back! New album The Big Decider, produced by Nile Rodgers and Ian Brodie, is proof that they are still a force to be reckoned with. Frontman Dave McCabe and saxophonist Abi Harding talk about the songwriting and recording process, past albums, a bad run in with Bill Wyman and John Lydon (on separate occasions) and more.
