Nonesuch Records are releasing a live album inspired by the Coen Brothers film, Inside Llewyn Davis.
The record, entitled Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating The Music Of Inside Llewyn Davis, will feature contributions from Jack White, Conor Oberst, The Decemberists' Colin Meloy, Elvis Costello, Joan Baez, Gillian Welch, The Avett Brothers, Carey Mulligan and more.
The Band's Robbie Robertson is the subject of a new children's book, written by his son, Sebastian.
Rock And Roll Highway: The Robbie Robertson Story recounts the entire arc of Robertson's career and includes appearances by Buddy Holly, Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan.
Sebastian Robertson has previously written Legends, Icons & Rebels: Music That Changed The World, co-written with his father, which was published in 2013.
A month, perhaps, of surprises. On the rather intimidating new Scott Walker and Sunn O))) album, there appears to be a joke about Michael Flatley's testicles. Somewhere in the elevated aesthetics of Kate Bush's Before The Dawn, there's an equally dubious comedy routine that hinges on the punchline, "HP and mayo, it's the badger's nadgers." And then, just as we were finishing the new issue of Uncut (out today in the UK, as you may have seen), a U2 album suddenly materialised in iTunes, a bullish play to reassert them as the biggest pop group in the world.
Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen, New Order and Fleetwood Mac all feature in the new issue of Uncut, dated November 2014 (Take 210) and out tomorrow (September 23).
