The Delines
PAST THE SHADOWS
THE DELINES’ atmospheric blend of country soul balladry and hard-luck tales has reached stunning new heights with their latest album, The Sea Drift. Willy Vlautin and Amy Boone help Laura Barton join the dots between Richmond Fontaine, “low-level coke dealers” and “Rainy Night In Georgia”. Their secret? “We’re eavesdropping into people’s lives for moments at a time.”

FIGHTING TALK!
For THE CLASH, the making of Combat Rock was a time of chaos and internal conflict. Yet 40 years on, its infectious mix of dub, funk, punk and hip-hop remains as glorious as ever. Here, collaborators, eyewitnesses, fans and contemporaries – including JIM JARMUSCH, DON LETTS, JULIEN TEMPLE, GLEN MATLOCK, PAUL COOK and MARK STEWART – celebrate the last hurrah of Strummer, Jones, Simonon and Headon. “Knowing them, and what they were trying to do,” we learn, “this is the classic Clash album.”

FRAME BY FRAME
An excellent new documentary, made to mark the 50th anniversary of KING CRIMSON, may in fact commemorate the band’s “completion”. Uncut talks to Robert Fripp, King Crimson frontman Jakko Jakszyk and filmmaker Toby Amies to uncover a tale of bereavement, self-censorship and the importance of “getting out of the way of the music”. “It’s not 12-bar blues,” learns John Robinson

Billy Childish
MEDWAY SKYLINE
Over the last 40 years, the freewheelin’ BILLY CHILDISH has produced a gargantuan body of work encompassing bracing R&B, blues-infused punk, raucous rockabilly, art, poetry and beyond. Currently, he is bringing his rough and rowdy ways to the BOB DYLAN songbook. But how does the Bard of Hibbing fare against Chatham’s very own Renaissance man? “‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’ is about the shortest song Dylan has ever done,” he tells Peter Watts. “So I wrote another 12 verses…”

Norman Whitfield
Psychedelic Soul Man!
As the visionary architect behind “Ball Of Confusion” and “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone”, NORMAN WHITFIELD brought funk-rock revolution and racial protest to conservative Motown. But while he crafted groundbreaking hits for The Temptations, Marvin Gaye and others, Whitfield’s desire for creative control took him to war – with his artists, his label and even his boss, Berry Gordy. “Norman was a winner,” one eyewitness tells Nick Hasted. “But you can’t win all the time.”

BY ROYAL APPOINTMENT
Welcome to Uncut’s deep dive into QUEEN’s 30 greatest songs – from glam smashes to arena-sized anthems, deep cuts and more. Over the next eight pages, BRIAN MAY, ROGER TAYLOR and ADAM LAMBERT share with John Lewis tales behind the band’s thrilling body of work and celebrate the many career highs of their inimitable frontman FREDDIE MERCURY. Stand by for cameos from Groucho Marx, an Alfa Romeo and rock’s only known bicycle-bell solo, learn the secrets of “the Deaky box” and discover how The Who and Aretha Franklin proved to be unlikely influences on the band’s sound…
