In case I've not shared enough of my writing in the last 24 hours, after those Jad Tariq and Charlie Musselwhite pieces... Today see's the release of the new record from Thee Sinseers, Love Stories, which to my ears is the best soul album released this side of 1975. Review below

Jad Tariq - 'Precious Company' album review
Jad Tariq makes old-fashioned-sounding music, which is perfectly suited for our present-day world. His second album only builds on the promise of his first.

The best Great American Songbook album by a rock singer
People seem to think that when an artist turns to the Great American Songbook for inspiration, they've run out of their own ideas. But it's not always the case.

Summer is nearly over but if you're still looking for something to read while beach- or pool-side, the Dylan Revisited book, Busy Being Born (1960-66) will help while away those warm days. Links 👇 (Or ask your favourite local book shop to order a copy)
