COVER STORY: GENESIS Fifty years since their watershed split, Gabriel, Hackett, Banks, Collins and Rutherford reconvene for MOJO, remembering the lean years, mad costumes and tricky time signatures of a rock one-off. “We were resilient,” they remind Mark Blake.
TELEVISION In the mid-’70s four New Yorkers ripped up the guitar group rule book. Fifty years on they’re still making sense of the fallout, and their enigmatic leader.
BOB MARLEY The stories behind intimate shots of the reggae superstar, plus equally resonant portraits of PiL, Chrissie Hynde and more from Dennis Morris’s new book.
GRAHAM NASH Regrets, he has a few, but at 83 the cutting voice and canny diplomat of CSNY has songs to sing and things to achieve: “I want to touch the flame.”
KIM DEAL Why has it taken the Pixies and Breeders legend a lifetime to release her first solo album? “I’ve been busy,” she assures Grayson Haver Currin.
SALIF KEÏTA Battling prejudice at home while achieving eminence abroad, Mali’s “Golden Voice” is not done fighting, thanks to some enduring advice from Fela Kuti.
WILL OLDHAM How the artist generally known as Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy swopped acting for singing and found fresh inspiration among Nashville’s master craftsmen.
THE BRITISH INVASION Petula Clark, Dave Clark, Herman’s Hermits and more remember America’s Brit Beat madness of 1964-65: “Our guitarist had the shirt ripped off his back.”
