BLACK MATH
Analogue obsessions. Basement recordings. Sharp left turns. For three decades, JACK WHITE has been finding compelling new ways to expand his musical vision, taking rock and roots traditions and twisting them into new shapes. Now friends, bandmates and co-conspirators trace the stories behind his greatest records, from the primal thump of The White Stripes to the ram-a-lam hard rock of Frozen Charlotte.
MOVE ON UP
In 2018, ALABAMA SHAKES were at the height of their powers – and then they walked away. Now, nearly a decade on, Uncut meets the reunited band in rural Tennessee as they unveil a bold, shape-shifting new album – and navigate a second act rooted in healing, community and creative rebirth. “Band stories don’t have to follow that same old storyline,” hears Stephen Deusner.
CAN’T BE SATISFIED
After the re-energising spark of Hackney Diamonds, what’s next for Dartford’s finest upstarts, THE ROLLING STONES? How about Foreign Tongues – a rough and rowdy record of dystopian dramas, honky-tonk love songs and blues stompers, shot through with the mood of the times. In all-new interviews, MICK JAGGER, KEITH RICHARDS and RONNIE WOOD talk antiheroes, alter egos and the strange continuity that still binds the band together.
MIDNIGHT RIDER
From Florida roadhouses to the Fillmore East, the legend of GREGG ALLMAN endures. Now, with a new documentary imminent, friends and collaborators look beyond the trauma, excess and hard-won redemption to reveal the complicated truth about a Southern rock pioneer. “People see Gregg as a super-talented singer and musician,” his former manager tells Rob Hughes. “But I don’t think they realise the depth of who he was.”
FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD
After the imperial success of Hounds Of Love, what next for KATE BUSH? As The Sensual World and The Red Shoes took her into bolder, stranger territory, she began to reimagine not just her music but her life – a journey that would bring both creative freedom and personal upheaval. Here, friends and collaborators share tales with Nick Hasted involving homemade sandwiches, Bulgarian choirs, birthday parties, stalled cars and the long retreat from the spotlight.
BLUES BREAKERS!
In a basement in New York, a trove of long-lost tapes reveals a new side to CREAM’s most explosive album. But while "Wheels Of Fire" may be the crowning achievement of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, it also captures the trio under intense pressure. Here, collaborators and eyewitnesses revisit a band pushing at the outer edges of volume, improvisation and control.
“TAKE ME BACK TO DEAR OLD BLIGHTY…”
Forty years on, "The Queen Is Dead" is still THE SMITHS at their incandescent peak – an album powered by the peerless songwriting partnership of Morrissey and Johnny Marr and the unique four-way bond between the band. Here, members and collaborators share the album’s secrets – from experiments in the studio to unexpected meetings in motorway service stations, Morrissey’s postcard missives and encounters with Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop and Eartha Kitt .
BOY FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
"As Long Long Road" continues his late-career return to country, RINGO STARR reflects on childhood heroes, Nashville sessions, Beatlesera instincts – and why he’s looking back to move forward. “For the last year or so, I’ve been thinking about where I came from,” he confides to Michael Bonner. “And where I ended up…”
