Every Neil album is reviewed in comparable detail – you can find details of where to buy the mag here…

Three people have been hospitalised after Willie Nelson's band's tourbus was involved in an accident.
The bus crashed on Saturday morning ([November 23] in Texas on a icy road, reports TMZ. Nelson was reportedly in his own bus when the band bus hit a bridge pillar roughly 80 miles east of Dallas.

Christine McVie has expressed an interest in permanently re-joining her old band Fleetwood Mac.
McVie, who left the band in 1998, said to The Guardian: "I like being with the band, the whole idea of playing music with them. I miss them all. If they were to ask me I would probably be very delighted… but it hasn't happened so we'll have to wait and see." This September McVie joined Fleetwood Mac onstage at London's O2 Arena, to perform "Don't Stop" with the band.
I wrote a Throwing Muses feature for the November 2013 issue of Uncut, for which I spoke to all Muses past and present. The key interview, of course, was with Kristin Hersh, which ended up taking place over two lengthy sessions.
