The current issue of Uncut features our albums of the year list, compiled by the Uncut team, along with the best reissues and compilations of the year, and the best films and books.
When Graeme Thomson sent us his interview with Eric Clapton, it was not, to be honest, quite what we expected. We anticipated a poignant chat about Clapton’s old friend JJ Cale, to tie in with the forthcoming tribute album, “The Breeze”. As it transpired, though, the album was just a jumping-off point for one of the most unexpected and revealing Clapton pieces most of us can remember.
Eric Clapton, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Bob Dylan and Shane MacGowan all feature in the new issue of Uncut, dated August 2014 (Take 207) and out today (June 24).
There’s plenty to shout about in the new UNCUT, which goes on sale this Friday, May 23.
