Another song this week from what’s rapidly shaping up to be one of my favourite 2014 albums, Hurray For The Riff-Raff’s “Small Town Heroes”. Have a look, too, at the trailer for Lance Bangs’ Slint documentary, “Breadcrumb Trail”, which is the music film I’ve enjoyed most since the Source Family doc.
Some hardy perennials here: Ali Roberts and Hiss Golden Messenger’s MC Taylor covering Townes Van Zandt; a new live set from Cian Nugent. New Wooden Wand sounded good on first listen, too.
I should of course plug the new issue of Uncut at this point, not least the Afghan Whigs comeback interview and the rediscovery of Ned Doheny. Out today, I believe: Bowie, Johnny Cash, Peter Gabriel, Hold Steady, Slowdive, The War On Drugs, Little Feat, Paul Rodgers, The Beat, Dr John… full details here. Thanks.
