• THE MOJO INTERVIEW
  Negotiating fame, the f(olk)-word, then the “dark nightmare” of LA, emerging into motherhood and renewed self-possession, she’s the songwriting seeker plumbing the depths of the psyche, and refusing to curry favour. “I wouldn’t wish meeting me on anybody,” says Laura Marling.
• LAURA IN ORDER
  The pick of Marling’s mature works, by Victoria Segal.
• NEW YORK STATE OF MINDS
  Fifty years since their instigation, and 10 since the passing of their last original member, the RAMONES’ rock’n’roll revolution maintains a living legacy. But was there ever a more unlikely success story? KRIS NEEDS returns to the birth of the band, unravelling a tale of blood, toil, tears, sweat, more blood, heroin, OCD, dumb genius and perfect timing: “They ignited the powder keg that was waiting to be ignited.”
• RAMONES: THE MOVIE!?
  With an errant star and warring estates, will this Brudders biopic ever get made? KRIS NEEDS investigates.
• The UNQUIET AMERICAN
  In 1974 RANDY NEWMAN - the agent provocateur of singer-songwriters - unleashed his greatest provocation: a barb that speared racist bigotry and liberal hypocrisy alike. In a chapter from his in-depth new Newman biography, Robert Hilburn unpacks the complex genesis of Good Old Boys and its speaking-the-unspeakable anthem, Rednecks: "He knew the song was going to upset people-to put it mildly-but it’s how he saw the world."

• Tucker: The Man & His Dream
  Revered by Bowie, wooed by Crosby and Stills, hosted by President Mobutu, TUCKER ZIMMERMAN is the classical dropout who became one of the Great Lost Singer-Songwriters. Except now he’s been found, by folk-rockers du jour Big Thief. Exposing his genius may even be the best thing they’ve done. “When we’re together it’s like fireflies exploding,” he tells WILL HODGKINSON.

• SADE’S DIAMOND LIFE BEGINS
  SADE ADU was a stylist when she met London Latin ensemble Pride. Soon after, she was fronting a new, streamlined group playing soul, jazz and sophisticated pop. After Sade’s classic Diamond Life hit in the second half of ’84, West End clubland and squats with frozen pipes made way for international success. Forty years on from their moment-defining debut’s release, players and friends recall the moment of fusion. “It was all positivity and action stations,” they say. “Sade took the full brunt of the fame.”
• HAPPY GILMOUR
  With a new album embracing “complete anarchic madness”, his first tour in eight years and (we kid you not) a single with Ice-T, Pink Floyd’s imposing guitarist returns with a mission: to shake up his music, shrug off the fug of nostalgia, disperse the pall of Covid. And there may, DAVID GILMOUR hints, soon be more to come. “I’ve got a trove of stuff already,” he assures MARK BLAKE.
