It’s that covermount CD time of month again..
Uncut this month has done a ‘Summer of Motown CD’, which is sort of all right, but also by about track 5 or 6 you start to realise that Motown also put out some right cheesy rubbish at times.
Word, however, has done what Uncut used to do very well, which is a collection of stuff from this month. Plenty of the stuff I’ve been talking about here: Adem, Mylo, Sons and Daughters, The Bees,…as well as a bit of Weller (doing Gordon Lightfoot’s Early Morning Rain, which really makes me want to learn to play it on the guitar), Nick Cave, and something by someone called Sondre Lerche, which is strangely lovely. Word wins.
