Mojo – April 2019

K.D Lang - As modern country’s premium torch singer plots a return to Canada, Sylvie Simmons hears tales of prejudice, Buddhism and stepping “20 feet back” from fame.

LEE ‘SCRATCH’ PERRY - A bizarre ride to the far side with reggae’s maddest professor. Prepare for revelations on the M4, and a stern warning for MOJO: “Fuckin’ behave yourself! ”

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS - Girl’s got rhythm! Australia’s rowdiest exports in years biff the Pacific North-West into submission. Regrow those mullets, the Sharpies are back!

SCOTT WALKER - Rhymes of goodbye: Ian Harrison charts the odyssey of Noel Scott Engel, through unpublished interviews with Scott and his Walker brothers, and new words from key collaborator Peter Walsh: “I would’ve moved heaven and earth for that man.”

METALLICA - Laying waste to Kansas City, Metallica take time out from their current epic campaign to revisit thrash metal’s year zero, with help from Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth.

ELTON JOHN - Candle In The Wind composed over breakfast. Telepathic playing. Immortal pop conjured up in the haunted Honky Chateau… The eyewitnesses on the making of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

BOB DYLAN - Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, T Bone Burnett and the raggle-taggle survivors of the Rolling Thunder Revue remember one of rock’s most legendary tours, a wild tale of mass harmony and marital breakdown now memorialised on a 14-CD box set. Plus Dylan’s live adventures through the ages – all roads lead to Hyde Park!
