Can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Paul Weller keeps giving the lie to that maxim, with a fascinating new album and an exclusive new interview with MOJO. Plus: insights into his live resurrection and reflections by Noel Gallagher on his friend and (sometimes fiery) mentor. Also in the issue: the birth of The Byrds; Pete Townshend’s turbulent ’80s; Marvin Gaye’s buried treasures; Dusty Springfield – the genius and heartache; Questlove in the MOJO Interview. And: Johnny Cash; Jessica Pratt; Belle And Sebastian; Motörhead; Dirty Three; Richard Thompson; Dickey Betts; John Grant; David Bowie; The Durutti Column; Dana Gillespie; Pat Metheny; Royal Trux; and all back to Russell Crowe’s!

 

THIS MONTH’S COVERMOUNT CD is Jingle Jangle Mornings: A Byrds Companion. Folk, rock, country, psych (and raga!) from Gene Clark, Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, Clarence White, The Louvin Brothers, Pete Seeger, International Submarine Band, Ravi Shankar and more!
