DANCING IN THE DARK

I loved seeing the review for Henry Badowski’s long lost, now reissued Life Is A Grand [May issue, Take 338]. For decades this has been one of the more rare, fascinating LPs in my collection, that absolutely no-one has ever heard of.

It took considerable digging for years to learn of his brief stints with a number of known bands. I could never find this wonderful album digitised anywhere on any site, so I took to deeper digging and found he owned a web domain, ikswodab. com (his last name backwards). There was no content on the site (this was perhaps 20 years ago), only a “contact us” link. I enquired as to whether the record had ever been or could be found online. To my great surprise, Henry himself answered my query politely, saying he couldn’t help because he did not own the rights to any of the recordings!

OLD TIME FEELING
The antique spirit of SG GOODMAN ’s songs stays true to her Kentuckian roots, but she finds substance in modern, smalltown minutiae. In between tales of gardening with octogenarians, driving trucks as a 12-year-old and cutting one’s hair ‘by the signs’, she explains why her new album is inspired by ancient pagan practices of living by the phases of the moon. “This belief is meant to have action behind it,” she tells an intrigued Stephen Deusner over lunch at Rudy’s On The Square, “and not just feelings.”

HAPPY TALK
The journey from “man in a cabin, sad bastard” to Grammy awards, stadium tours and the veneration of his peers has brought Justin Vernon success as BON IVER – but it came at a price. Yet a new album finds him in uncharacteristically positive and upbeat mood. What changed? “I started to feel like I don’t want to play this character any more,” discovers Laura Barton. “This is the new era for Bon Iver.”

MAGICAL THINKING
Illuminated by the psychedelic Merseybeat of brothers JOHN and MICHAEL HEAD , SHACK were the cult band’s cult band before addiction, misfortune and disappointment waylaid them. In the time since, their music – and legend – has grown in stature. As the band ready for their first tour in over 15 years, we hear how sobriety, family and chemistry have played a part in their unexpected reunion. “It’s natural,” they tell Tom Pinnock. “It’s beautiful.”

BEYOND SUNSET
Sixty years on since THE DOORS formed in Los Angeles, John Densmore and Robby Krieger celebrate 10 of their greatest songs – freeway-haunting jams and psychedelic epics, raunchy blues, pop departures and more that remind them of good times and bad. “We were proud to break that three-minute barrier,” they tell Peter Watts
MAPS & LEGENDS
Forty years ago, R.E.M. travelled to London to make their third album, Fables Of The Reconstruction . A cryptic record, rooted in the mythology, history and geography of the rural American South, it arrived in difficult circumstances – yet it played a critical role in the band’s transformation from lively and mysterious post-punk outfit to concerned and influential rock band. In candid and revelatory interviews, MICHAEL STIPE , PETER BUCK and MIKE MILLS shine new light on their early years. “By the time we got to Fables , we were all crazy, to one degree or another,” hears Michael Bonner
SACRED MUSIC
MICHAEL SHANNON and JASON NARDUCY reveal all about their Fables… tour. “It’s not a cover band,” insists superfan Michael Stipe. “It’s much greater than that!”
