The late 1970s produced several classic breakup records. The romantic collapse of ABBA’s two couples fuelled a succession of bittersweet pop hits, while Marvin Gaye turned the end of his marriage into an entire double album. But few records wear their heartbreak as openly, or as successfully, as…

As we edge ever closer to this year’s annual shindig on the 28th November, 25 years of Americana UK this time, I thought it entirely apropos to look back at our headliner in his early years. So this week’s Classic Clip is Chuck Prophet from 31 years ago, performing on what appears to be a tiny…
As you’ll read in this new magazine , where 1985’s Biograph opened the door, the mission of the Bootleg Series (18 volumes and counting …) has been to go further into Bob Dylan ‘s extremely deep and well-curated vault. Inside it is music from an entire ghost Dylan career, as mesmerizing as the one…
It’s a step up for The Long Ryders, whose recent appearances in London have been at 229, but as the room fills with a crowd abuzz with anticipation, it was clearly the right move for The Long Ryders to stake their claim on one of Camden’s premier music venues. It also, as he would tell us later…

In 1977, Nils Lofgren was already a respected singer-songwriter with eight albums to his name, either as the frontman and creative force behind the band Grin, or latterly as a solo artist. With major label backing, his tour of the UK was geared towards moving him significantly further forward, in…
We have mentioned before that Folk is a broad church, and we’ve hinted that it can be at its best, or at least its most interesting, when it pushes at the boundaries. And, sometimes, that pushing needs to be in a backwards direction – picking up a style that has fallen from fashion and breathing…
Chasing Time is the lush, new single from Minnesota folk band Wren + Wilde. As soon as the song begins, we are introduced to the sublime harmonies that are at the heart of the song. Over a strong beat and warmly produced instrumental layers, the vocals are pure and heartfelt, rising into the…
The fourth entry in the series, and Hugo Simões tries his hand at the top 10. That word “ best “. It’s the easiest way to send a writer running into the woods, raving, clawing at the maples. It’s the kind of pressure that requires either deep meditation or impulse. I’m going with impulse. It starts…
