Buena Vista Social Club
¡CUBA LIBRE!
In 1996, RY COODER assembled the BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB and turned Havana’s forgotten musical aristocracy into unlikely stars. Twentyfive years on, the magic of the joyous, bittersweet album they recorded together is stronger than ever. But how did its curator and venerable cast navigate power cuts, food shortages and meetings with Fidel Castro? “We got in there and did great things,” Cooder tells Graeme Thomson

A MESSAGE TO YOU
The No 1 success of Encore proved THE SPECIALS remain a vital force – but what are Terry Hall, Horace Panter and Lynval Golding doing for, well, an encore? Taking a stand against the “heavy atmosphere” of the last 18 months, they have recorded a set of protest songs by artists as diverse as Frank Zappa, Big Bill Broonzy and Chip Taylor. “ All we can do is try and raise awareness,” they tell Peter Watts. “That’s our role.”
PROTEST SONGS: THE SOURCE!
Terry, Horace and Lynval guide you track by track through their new album
Kacey Musgraves
Golden Years
By confronting Nashville conservatism, she became the outspoken queen of “galactic country” – but how will magic mushrooms, “insane spiritual welfare” and a rose-strewn bed that resembles “some Brian Wilson shit” help KACEY MUSGRAVES sort out her next “Big Bang explosion of ideas”? She tells Stephen Deusner, “Sometimes I contradict myself from one song to the next…”

Caravan
There and back again
Join us at the bar in The Millers Arms, before genial host Pye Hastings takes us on an evocative tour of CARAVAN’s old haunts around Canterbury. Along the way, Sam Richards hears how wigwams, Brussels sprouts and a bypass near Sevenoaks helped them become the enduring, if unlikely, heroes of prog. “The problems of the world didn’t really affect us… We lived in our own little bubble.”

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
WHAT WE DID IN THE SHADOWS
Moroccan opium dens! A song called “Jazzmen”! “I spend my days pushing Elvis Presley’s belly up a series of steep hills”! As a new compilation featuring previously unreleased material from NICK CAVE’s most recent studio albums emerges from the vaults, Peter Watts takes a dive into a remarkable secret history –a rich and strange phantasmagoria of lost songs, near-forgotten gems and other sonic outcasts. Our guides are Bad Seeds WARREN ELLIS, JIM SCLAVUNOS, THOMAS WYDLER and MICK HARVEY along with Cave himself. “You can’t buy that stuff !” he tells us…
