Ryan Adams has previewed songs from his new album in his performance at Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, reports Consequence Of Sound.

The singer will release his self-titled fourteenth album on September 8 and, during his performance, he played three songs from the record, plus a new, non-album track called “Catherine”. You can watch footage of one track, “My Wrecking Ball”, below and listen to the whole set at NPR.

Adams also covered US metal band Danzig’s track “Mother” towards the end of his set. He previously debuted one of the new songs in his set, ‘Stay With Me’, at a show in Portland.

The Ryan Adams album was produced by Adams at his Pax Am Studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The album follows 2011’s ‘Ashes & Fire’, and will feature recent single ‘Gimme Something Good’.

Beck was joined by Jack White last Saturday [July 26] night at the Providence Performing Arts Center.

According to The Future Heart, White was introduced by Beck as “the best bartender in the world.” They started off with “Pay No Mind” and “Loser” before closing out the show with an extended version of “Where It’s At”.

For the last song, they were also joined on tambourine by Sean Lennon, who had opened the show with his band the Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger.

Stevie Nicks has announced that she will release a double album this autumn.

24 Karat Gold: Songs From The Vault will be released on October 7. The album is made up of songs that were mostly written by the Fleetwood Mac member between 1969 and 1987 but were recorded recently in Nashville and Los Angeles. The album is produced by Nicks, Dave Stewart and Waddy Wachtel.

Speaking about the album, Nicks commented in a statement: “Most of these songs were written between 1969 and 1987. One was written in 1994 and one in 1995. I included them because they seemed to belong to this special group. Each song is a lifetime. Each song has a soul. Each song has a purpose. Each song is a love story… They represent my life behind the scenes, the secrets, the broken hearts, the broken-hearted and the survivors.”

Meanwhile, Fleetwood Mac recently said that they have almost finished eight songs for a possible new album. The recent recordings feature Christine McVie, who announced she was rejoining the band in January, although Nicks was not present at the sessions owing to other commitments.

The band’s guitarist Lindsey Buckingham said in an interview with Billboard: “The chemistry was just unbelievable. We’re all very excited about the new music. Knowing me, I’m going to be pushing hard for a double album.”

Minus Nicks, Fleetwood Mac spent two months at The Village Recorder studio in Los Angeles, working in the same room in which they recorded their 1979 album ‘Tusk’. Despite the eight tracks being “75 per cent done”, the sessions will be put on hold as McVie returns to the UK where she lives. The band are scheduled to begin rehearsals for their world tour this month, meaning it’s unlikely a new album will be released before 2015. Titles for the new songs include “Carnival Begin” and “Red Sun”.

A record shop in Devon has gone up for sale on eBay for £8,999.00.

The shop, which is based in Crediton, Devon has been going for seven years and is being sold because the owner wishes to start another business.

According to the listing, the price includes: “Thousands upon thousands of new and used vinyl singles, albums & box sets, CD singles and albums.” It also includes merchandise including badges, posters, mugs and tshirts.

“This is a ready made business for someone to start,” the statement reads.

The lease on the shop itself ends October, and the current owners says they will not be renewing it. The site may be available, which is “a matter which needs to be discussed with the landlord,” the listing says.

This is not the first record shop to crop up on the auction site in recent months. At the end of last year, the owner of the oldest second-hand record shop in London failed to attract a buyer after placing his store for sale on eBay for £300,000.

Specialising in vintage vinyl, On The Beat Records in Hanway Street, Soho, stocked over 50,000 records. These were all included in the £300,000 ‘Buy It Now’ price, along with the store’s leasehold.

Jack White brought a lucky fan on stage to play with him and his band during a gig in Milwaukee on Monday night.

White was performing at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee on July 21 when he reached out to the audience for help with the White Stripes song. When the female audience member stepped up, she got to wear White’s hat and play two of his guitars while performing the song. She later took a bow with the rest of White’s band.

Elsewhere at the gig, Jack White performed a brief excerpt of Lorde’s song “Royals”. The cover follows White playing Jay Z‘s ’99 Problems’ on many occasions during his current North American tour.

Jack White embarks on a three-date tour of the UK this November playing at:

Leeds First Direct Arena (November 17)

London O2 Arena (19)

Courtney Love says she hopes filming will start on a mooted Kurt Cobain biopic within the next year.

As reported, a film of the late Nirvana frontman’s life is set to go into production. Love set the timescale in a new interview with Inquirer Entertainment, in which she also said she won’t be deciding who plays her late husband.

“The biopic should start within the next year or so,” said Love. “I won’t name names because I don’t want to jinx it for anyone but these are 25-year-olds who are blonde, gorgeous and the new Brad Pitts. There’s a ton of those. Some are really good actors, not just pretty faces. I don’t want to be the person who makes that decision.”

However, Love will be involved in the film, alongside Cobain’s former Nirvana bandmates. “I do have a say in it. So do Frances, and Krist (Novoselic) and Dave (Grohl), for that matter, if it touches on Nirvana — and it will. I am leading the charge because it’s time to do this.”

Love previously revealed to NME that she has ambitious plans for her late husband’s legacy, including a documentary and stage play. Love stated that it has been fans’ reactions to the possibility of a stage production involving Cobain’s story which has made it now “very likely” to happen.

Roger Daltrey is backing plans to create an international model railway museum in Ashford, Kent.

Daltrey says the proposed museum would be a way of celebrating the fact that the railways were a British invention.

“We’re trying to start a model railway museum down in Ashford, me and a few pals down in Kent,” he told Radio 2‘s Chris Evans. “Britain forgets that we invented the railway and it conquered the world. The railway was the first thing to open up the world in a big way for trade. We invented it, and we should be proud of that. The model making side of it, it’s enormous.”

The singer revealed his interest in miniature trains in a conversation about his hobbies. Daltrey said: “I hate watching the TV because there’s nothing on and I like listening to the radio. The great thing about model railways is you can be doing a bit of woodwork, a bit of painting, a bit of this, a bit of that, and having fun with your mates and you can listen to the radio.”

Kent Online reported on Tuesday (July 22) that Daltrey visited Ashford Borough Council to discuss submitting an application for the museum, which is proposed for the Klondyke Railway Works site in Ashford’s Newtown.

A council spokesman said: “Roger Daltrey attended a meeting at Ashford Borough Council with the leader of the council Cllr Gerry Clarkson and chief executive John Bunnett about a proposal to locate an international model railway museum in Ashford. The meeting was attended by the group working on putting together the proposals for this exciting project. This was a preliminary meeting to discuss certain aspects prior to a formal planning application being lodged in the very near future.”

“We were delighted to welcome Mr Daltrey and the other guests, who are all supporting this proposed project, and we had an excellent and productive discussion.”

Jack White, Neil Young and Willie Nelson have been announced as this year’s headliners at Farm Aid, reports Rolling Stone.

Also appearing on the bill are John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews as well as Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Jamey Johnson, Delta Rae, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Carlene Carter, Pegi Young & The Survivors, and Insects vs Robots.

The benefit will take place this year at Walnut Creek Ampitheater, Raleigh, North Carolina on September 13.

“In North Carolina and across the Southeast, family farmers have struggled to stay on the land, but they have also pioneered new roads to economic sustainability,” Willie Nelson said in a statement. “This region knows the value of its farmers and offers increasing opportunities for new farmers to build a strong regional food system. On the Farm Aid stage Saturday, September 13, we’ll celebrate family farmers and the healthy communities they’re growing for all of us.”

Ticket presale starts Friday, July 25 at noon EDT. You can find more information here.

Slowdive have announced two further reunion gigs for later this year.

The band returned to the stage for their first gig in almost 20 years back in May, playing a surprise gig at the Sonic Cathedral label’s 10th anniversary party at London’s Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen.

They have since been touring European festivals, including slots at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Latitude last weekend (July 18). They will now follow this up with dates across Asia and North America, before two nights at London’s The Forum in Kentish Town on December 29 and 20.

In an interview earlier this year, the band’s frontman Neil Halstead suggested that the band may record new material. “The initial impetus [of a reunion] was the idea of doing some new music,” he said. “It seemed easier to do that because it’s not so public. But then we thought it would be good if we could raise a bit of money to make the record, and doing a couple of gigs would enable us to do that. And that’s the way it shaped up – while we’re rehearsing we can see if we’ve got another record in us.”

The Pop Group have announced their first ever UK tour.

The Bristol group – who formed in 1978 and split in 1980 before getting back together again in 2010 – will head out on a seven date tour this October, in support of the reissue in October of their 1980 album We Are Time and Cabinet Of Curiosities, a nine-track compilation of rarities and previously unreleased material.

The band will be performing We Are Time in full on the tour, which starts at Edinburgh Voodoo Rooms on October 20, with shows in Nottingham, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds and Brighton, finishing up at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on October 26. Tickets go on sale July 25.

The Pop Group will play:

Edinburgh Voodoo Rooms (October 20)

A tree planted in memory of George Harrison has died after being infested by beetles.

The pine in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park was planted in 2004 as a tribute Harrison, who passed away in 2001 in the city. A plaque on the tree read: “In memory of a great humanitarian who touched the world as an artist, a musician and a gardener.” It also featured a quote from Harrison: “For the forests to be green, each tree must be green.”

The LA Times says that Councilman Tom LaBonge has promised that a new tree will be planted to honour Harrison.

Meanwhile, Ron Howard is to direct a new documentary about The Beatles’ early years. The film will be produced for The Beatles’ Apple Corps Ltd company with White Horse Pictures and will be made with the full cooperation of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison.

It will focus on the formative touring days of the band, from shows at Liverpool’s Cavern Club and their time in Hamburg, up until their final gig – in Candlestick Park, San Francisco in 1966.
