Like Sonny Rollins’ Way Out West before her, and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter after her, Tina Turner’s 1974 foray into country, Tina Turns The Country On! , is a refreshing illustration of the breadth of her talents. Already successful with her then-husband in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, Tina’s solo career began not with the rock-infused R&B that made them famous, but country crossover instead. On its 50th anniversary, the album is ripe for reconsideration, thanks to a reissue with a brand new half-speed master vinyl and first ever CD release. In addition, her next three solo albums –...
Is this the end for our plucky hero Josh Tillman? Since Father John Misty’s era-skewering classic Pure Comedy, Tillman has trampolined between stripped-back (God’s Favorite Customer) and lush orchestration (Chloë And The Next 20th Century), without quite nailing the landing either time.

I feel like now, at 74, I’m at the peak of my performing capabilities. I’ve morphed into the rock’n’roll entertainer I always wanted to be. Since my Unzipped show in 2014 I kept the same format, so it’s two hours, some clips, some talking, some playing. And that was what I always dreamed of. It basically takes you through the journey of my life. You get all the hits, but you get...
This might be Jake Lenderman’s first show in London as a solo artist, but there’s a laconic ease in the way he commands the stage. Lenderman has played the city before with his band Wednesday, but 2024 has seen him break through as a solo artist thanks to his acclaimed fourth LP Manning Fireworks, and this is the first of two sold-out dates at The Garage (when he returns to London in June, it’ll be at the bigger Electric Ballroom).
