Kevin Rowland and other members of Dexys are set to introduce select screenings of their new documentary, Nowhere Is Home.
The film, directed by Paul Kelly, was shot during the band's residency at London’s Duke Of York’s Theatre last year and includes performance footage interspaced with interviews with Kevin Rowland and Jim Paterson about the band.
It is due to screen in UK cinemas at 7.45 on Monday, July 21.
John Fogerty is out on an extensive tour of the US right now, so it seems a good time to dip into the archives and remind ourselves of this great feature from Uncut’s February 2012 issue (177). At the dawn of the ’70s, Creedence Clearwater Revival were the biggest band in the world – a brilliant and driven hit machine with deep roots in American tradition. By 1972, though, it was all over, and the ex-bandmates embarked on a bitter war that still continues, 40 years later.
A 1964 album by Johnny Cash, Bitter Tears: Ballads Of The American Indian, has been re-recorded to mark its 50th anniversary.
The album, which was originally envisaged as a concept album to highlight the mistreatment of Native Americans, has been reinterpreted by artists including Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Emmylou Harris and Kris Kristofferson.

Beck is set to release a recorded version of his Song Reader project with an all-star cast including Jack White, Jeff Tweedy, Laura Marling and Jarvis Cocker.
I've been playing the new Jeff Tweedy album, "Sukierae", a good deal these past few weeks - or, I should say, the new Tweedy album, since these quietly wired tracks are, strictly speaking, collaborations between the Wilco man and his eldest son, Spencer. I'm slowly beginning to think it might be the best studio album he's been involved with since "A Ghost Is Born".
Pink Floyd have released more details about their new album, The Endless River.
Following yesterday's revelations that the band are to release their first studio album in 20 years, the band have issued a brief statement.

The Manics release their 12th album, Futurology, on Monday (July 7) – here, we head back to the November 2011 issue of Uncut (Take 174) to hear James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire and Sean Moore talk us through their history, and introduce us to their next stage, “the third and final great leap forward…” Words: David Quantick
