THE IRISH ROVER
When SHANE MacGOWAN died, Ireland came to a standstill. Now, as Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits head up an all-star cast of musicians recording his songs for an ambitious new tribute album, we hear tales of Ireland’s great punk poet – from London’s underground scene to the byroads of Tipperary, high-end hotel lobbies and scruffy pubs. “His music was very cinematic and so was his life,” learns Peter Watts. “It was all part of his constant wave of energy.”

A FABULOUS CREATION
How do you follow one of the greatest debuts of all time? Such was the question facing ROXY MUSIC at the dawn of 1973, as they prepared to cut their second classic, For Your Pleasure. With a sumptuous new boxset digging deep into the album and the period, BRYAN FERRY looks back over a time of punishing tours, last-minute writing, countryside exile, new studios, greasy spoons, taking tea with Salvador Dalí… and the departure of Brian Eno. “I thought, ‘This is the masterwork, this is it. What can I do after this?’” he confesses to Damien Love.

AND WE COULD DANCE
The tragedy of Ian Curtis continues to cast a long shadow over JOY DIVISION’s legacy. Yet alongside it lies another story: of a group that was intense, hypnotic, physical and utterly transformative on stage. As a new boxset gathers the best surviving live recordings, we ask band members, confidants and fans to revisit 10 nights that shaped their remarkable rise, painting a shadow history that runs counter to the established myths.

THE SEEKER
Commercially adrift but creatively fearless, VAN MORRISON spent the 1980s pursuing enlightenment through song. Forty years on from No Guru, No Method, No Teacher, his closest collaborators look back on a remarkable period of inner searching, mystical inquiry and inspired music-making. “You knew there was something happening,” one collaborator tells Nick Hasted. “If you looked at him you could see this shimmering.”

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.
