CONTENTS MOJO 321
PAUL WELLER The former Jam man’s hot streak continues, with a new album – On Sunset – his most soulful in years. With MOJO he looks back over its precedents, past battles and future hopes. Plus – can it be true? – a Style Council revival?
COVERMOUNT CD: THE MOJO FESTIVAL 2020 Distraught at the cancellation of your favourite summer festival? Kill the pain with exclusive live tracks from Weller, Nick Cave, U2, R.E.M., The Black Keys, New Order, Foo Fighters, Michael Kiwanuka, Lucinda Williams and more.
FRANK ZAPPA Under the off-colour ‘folklore’ and mindblowing polyrhythms, what made rock’s ultimate refusenik really tick? Mark Paytress asks family and bandmates.
LITTLE RICHARD No-one is owed more by the music we still call rock’n’roll. But he wasn’t always thanked – least of all in his home town. David Fricke delivers the eulogy.
STEVE CROPPER The rhythmic right hand of southern soul on building Stax (literally), stumbling on Otis, hate mail from Neil Young fans and estrangement from Booker T.
THE GO-GO’s From punk to pop via drug madness and cash conflict: how the fairytale of Beauty And The Beat turned dark before the healing began. “What a f***ing career” indeed!
DION The Bronx-bred, angel-voiced tough guy of doo-wop survived heroin, heartbreak, Phil Spector and Buddy Holly’s plane. Now 80, he’s still standing, still singing his blues.
FONTAINES DC They’re the most exciting rock’n’roll band in the British Isles, but will their daring second album make or break them? “There’s a lot of stress,” they tell Keith Cameron.
