• THE MOJO INTERVIEW
  The rich voice of Manfred Mann, and nearly the Stones, he swung hard in Swinging London before God and his choirboy past caught up with him. In 2025 he still sings the blues – but not the naughty stuff. “I’ve changed a lot,” confesses Paul Jones.
• JONES IN OUR BONES
  Three epistles of Paul, received by Mat Snow.
• LET ME HAVE IT ALL
  The passing of SLY STONE in June shone light on a genre-mashing genius whose peak, multi-hued music preached unity and transcendence. Stone’s world darkened as drugs took over and The Family Stone fell apart, but the fruits of a recent, unlikely renaissance included a candid memoir and some tantalising music. “Sly still had all these amazing creative talents,” discovers STEVIE CHICK.

• MOJO PRESENTS
  Under the glitz and gobbing off, an artful new LP charts CMAT’s elevation in the craft of Classic Songwriting. With salutes to Leonard Cohen and Judee Sill, she bears witness to everyday joys and sorrows - with a gag or three thrown in. “My sensibilities are towards the kitchen sink,” she tells VICTORIA SEGAL.
• “I Was Like, Leonard, Shut Up!”
  Love - sometimes tough - for CMAT’s Hall Of Famers.
• Impractical MAGIC
  Inspired, unique but ill-matched, THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND were the hippy-folk harlequins whose spellbinding music touched the ineffable, skirting the edge of disintegration. A new box set states their case for inclusion among the ‘60s’ true greats. If only its creators could feel the love. “It would be nice to be able to talk,” they tell JIM WIRTH.
• “IT’S COMPLETELY ITS OWN THINGS”
  A new-gen folk star - Lankum’s DARAGH LYNEH - on how he fell down an ISB rabbit hole.
• REINTRODUCING THE BAND
  Twice derailed by egomania, hard drugs, and Britpop, SUDE sashay on - wiser, sturdier and, they assert, more creative than ever. An upcoming new album-Antidepressantsrevives formative influences (Magazine, The Cult, Crass), and points vigorously to the future. One in the eye for the pundits, and at least one notorious German sceptic? “Stubbornness is in our DNA,” they tell KEITH CAMERON.

  Nude Records founder SAUL GALPERN on the dawn of Suede.

• The Quiet American
  Even among his storied peers – Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt – the songs of Mickey Newbury were legend: as soulful and sophisticated as their writer was unassuming enigmatic. Today, reissues of his three classic albums underline his genre-crossing greatness. “He brought a whole new dimension to country music,” discovers Will Hodgkinson. Portrait by Tom Hill

  How Mickey Newbury’s An American Trilogy disarmed a racist anthem, and outperformed Elvis.
• 20 YEARS OF AFRICA EXPRESS
  It began as a meeting of musical minds in Mali, after the 2005 Live 8 charity show for Africa featured hardly any African artists. Over the next two decades, the train kept on rolling via Glastonbury, Liverpool, Paris, Johannesburg and Mexico, picking up like-minded global artists on a mission to collaborate. Remembering the inspired madness of unfettered musical cross-pollination, principals including Damon Albarn, Fatoumata Diawara and others reflect on “a new way of looking at freedom… it’s crazy how you find pieces of home the more you are away.”
• THE END OF INNOCENCE
  As The Beach Boys’ master architect, BRIAN WILSON hymned the American dream and its shadow flipside with raw spirituality and symphonic sophistication. The price he paid for the beauty he made was steep, but as JOHN MULVEY attests, we’ll be bathing in its glow as long as there is rock and pop.
