PJ Harvey joins host Raina Douris

PJ Harvey has a wonderous new album called I Inside the Old Year Dying. Part of the magic comes from the language she uses – the lyrics were written in the Dorset dialect, which PJ grew up around – and part of the magic comes from the touches of found sound – bits that PJ collected with a tape recorder around her childhood home. On the World Cafe, PJ Harvey talks about making it and plays some of the songs live with her band.
