“What a world we got, folks,” says Neil Young, before crashing into “Throw Your Hatred Down”, a 1995 anti-war song he surely hoped wouldn’t still be so horribly relevant today. Young doesn’t say much else for the duration of a gripping, intense, two-hour set, but his exasperation, anger and compassion are palpable in both his choice of songs and the way in which he plays them. Advertisement BST Hyde Park is very much the Wimbledon of music festivals, a place where it’s possible (for the right price) to watch the bands while sipping champagne on a shady terrace. With...

Starting out as a jobbing songwriter, he fashioned hits for Roy Orbison, Tom Jones, Kenny Rogers and many more, while also working tirelessly to give others a leg-up. He persuaded old-school country chart regular Roger...

This Ryan Davis is a happening type. A longtime mainstay of the Louisville, Kentucky, alternative arts and music scenes, he also co-founded the multimedia Cropped Out festival and runs his own Sophomore Lounge record label. He’s also a virtuoso storyteller, whose songs are mostly vast unfurling narratives with more verses than a poetry anthology. Davis served time previously in State Champion, across whose four albums of mostly familiar alt.country – think Son Volt, Silver Jews – there are tantalising hints on tracks like “Death Preferences”, “There Is A Highlights Reel” and “Brain Days” of the music he’s currently making...
