We’re sorry to end this week with some sad news for regular readers which some of you will know already via social media. It’s been a very tough last few days for us as a team here at Americana UK as we lost not one but two of our longstanding writers and editors – Firstly, Martin Johnson, AUK’s amazingly productive Interviews Editor since 2020 pictured on the left above who died on Thursday last week. And then we had the news yesterday of the loss of our beloved Live Reviews Editor Paul Kerr who is basically the longest-serving writer AUK…
When My Aim Is True was released on July 22, 1977, the odds against it being a work which would still be appreciated nearly half a century hence appeared considerable.

Since belatedly launching his solo career in 2013 with The Messenger, Johnny Marr has barely paused to gather breath, like a man who feels he has a lot to give as well as something to prove. The Age Of Everything joins four other solo albums – one of which was a double – three live albums and a compilation, plus two books, a blockbuster auction of his guitars at Christie’s and a role in an Oscar-nominated Bond theme. All this activity has placed Marr firmly in the spotlight, which is quite a turnaround for a man who had previously established…
UNCUT: You must have spent more time with this music than anybody else on the planet. What did you learn from this experience? Is there anything new for you to hear and discover? GILES MARTIN: Yeah, it’s funny – there’s always something new, because when you mix the albums, you’re sort of living with the band at that time. My introduction to the Beatles is unusual compared to most people’s, because I didn’t have any plans to work on Beatles music, and then I did the Love show and Love album, which involved going through absolutely everything, almost alphabetically rather…
MUDHONEYSuperfuzzBigmuffPlus Early Singles(Sub Pop, 1990)You could make a case that grunge was created the moment Mudhoney released “Touch Me, I’m Sick”in1988,a carnival of sludgy riffs,spaceydrumsandbarely intelligible vocalstied together byafatchorus.Two years later, theband’s debut single wasreissued on this long player, which brought together the 1988Superfuzz BigmuffEP with other singles.It showed a bandborrowing fromthe greats – Sabbath,Stooges,Black Flag– as well as near-peers Pixies, Dinosaur Jr and Husker Du, to develop a new sound that began withpre-MudhoneyGreen River and thensolidifiedbyMudhoney themselves.It doesn’t hurt that Mark Arm, theGreen River/Mudhoney vocalist,was one of the first people to use the term grunge (as opposed to grungy)in…
