THE ROLLING STONES: In all-new interviews, Mick, Keith and Ronnie on their excellent new album Foreign Tongues, “bad politics”, myth-busting and the ties that bind: “It’s still a bit mind-boggling, even at this age.” Plus! Steve Winwood, Andrew Watt, Darryl Jones and Robert Smith on the genius of the Stones.
GREGG ALLMAN: With a new doc imminent, friends and former bandmates pay tribute to a complicated Southern rock pioneer. “People see Gregg as a super-talented singer and musician. But I don’t think they realise the depth of who he was.”
SIOUXSIE SIOUX: You’re entranced! Excerpts from a new book showcasing Sheila Rock’s legendary 1982 photo shoot capture the Banshee Queen at the peak of her powers.
JOHN COLTRANE: The great saxophonist had already stretched jazz to its limits by the mid ’60s, though Ascension still caused an explosion when it first appeared. “I felt like a searing white-hot poker was going through my chest,” Roger McGuinn tells us.
THE KINKS: “Keep going, don’t give in!” 1966 was a year of extreme contradictions for The Kinks: Ray and Dave Davies and Mick Ivory reveal all about what went wrong… and what went right.
FLORRY: Philadelphia’s self-confessed “skronky punky loud country rock band” (think the Stray Gators meet Sonic Youth) have plotted a slow-burn rise built on friendship, freak-outs and the thrill of the jam.
AN AUDIENCE WITH… DANIEL LANOIS: The super-producer and pedal steel ace on “going for a magic carpet ride” with Bob, Neil, Emmylou, U2, the Eno brothers and more…
THE MAKING OF “YES” BY McALMONT & BUTLER: A classic yin-yang partnership burns briefly but brilliantly to create a defiant, wall-of-sound anthem.
ALBUM BY ALBUM WITH KING GIZZARD & THE WIZARD LIZARD: Stu Mackenzie, leader of the prolific Antipodean psych rockers, guides us through their massive discography.
MY LIFE IN MUSIC: White Denim’s James Petralli reveals the soundtrack to his band’s freewheeling rock journey: “The spirit of Devo is really huge for us”.
