Reviewed: Linda Perhacs live at Cecil Sharp House, London, December 5, 2013

There are some things you never expect to see. Take, for example, a live performance of “Parallelograms”; a song of uncanny atmospheres and dynamics, recorded in 1970 by a dental hygienist with only a fleeting involvement with the music business.

Shelter From The Storm – the inside story of Bob Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks

In an archive piece taken from Uncut’s January 2005 issue (Take 92), we look back at Dylan in 1975, when he turned the crisis of a deteriorating relationship into one of rock’s most compelling dramas.

Lucinda Williams – Little Honey

Nine albums in, the queen of heartbreak tempts fate by cheering up

Eraserhead, The Short Films Of David Lynch

Cult classic meticulously remastered – plus six of the director’s surrealist shorts
