Kevin Esquire spent hours with Motowns almost-star from the 1960s and 70s, Christina Carter, and we have unpublished archival images and many amazing anecdotes.
Speaking of Motown, did you know that the son of the great Marxist/ Black liberation activist CLR James was in mixed race band Odyssey, who had a record on Motown? We have a great feature on that.
Fascinating discussion between guitarist-singer-songriter-innovators Chris Forsyth and Steve Wynn.

Nate Carson goes deep on the Tony Iommi era of Black Sabbath.
Why Buffy Saint-Marie matters, now more than ever, by writer and musician Emily Pothast.
One of our favorite writers, Sara Jaffe, tells us how her own grandfather wrote the song Im My Own Grandpa! No, really! That alone is worth admission.
Plus also too theres a terrific and long and excellently illustrated feature on the country and experimental steel guitarist Barry Walker Jr by Tom Humphrey. Our SF Indie Scene Report: 2022 is so well done that its going to knock your socks off. Plus Lucy Sante and Mimi Lipson and the tape column and Katie Lass on her soon-to-be classic Hypnopomp LP and the great Jay Ruttenberg on Sessa, whew. Plus also of course beautiful images galore, and more besides.
