State of grace

Shimmering performance by the Mother Superior of country rock

As chosen by famous fans, Dylan's associates and Uncut writers

Rousing fifth solo LP from peripatetic US maverick...

I’ve just finished a longish review of this new Bill Callahan album, “Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle”, for the next issue of Uncut, so I’ll try not to repeat myself too much here; save some adjectives, maybe, for the magazine. It is, though, one of the best records Callahan has made in what’s now a reasonably long, generally underestimated career.

The Parlophone years in box and USB stick, plus an In Rainbows you can hold.

Beth Gibbons, Jack White, Nick Cave, Arooj Aftab, Waxahatchee, Mdou Moctar, The Smile, Fontaines DC and more

... on Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Miles Davis and a remarkable life in music

Finally... the bleak yet energised 14th album

Matt Johnson returns for first album in nearly quarter of a century

Mercury Rev, MJ Lenderman, John Murry & Michael Timmins and more appear on our On The Highway compilation
