THE MOJO INTERVIEW • Under Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and other sobriquets, he’s alchemised folk, country and indie rock, dredging the dark depths of the soul. Yet with a 25th album afoot, MOJO finds him cheery. “There’s always something new to explore,” enthuses Will Oldham.

JUST A SONG BEFORE I GO • Taking his songbook on the road at 83, GRAHAM NASH proves he was always much more than the "glue" in CSNY. And as he reflects on his adventures with the Hollies, Beatles and Hendrix, and a reconciliation with David Crosby tragically thwarted by the Croz’s 2023 passing, he reveals an upside to his enforced solo path. "i have the freedom to do whatever i want,"he tells DAVID FRICKE.

HE’S THE KEEPER • Carrying the torch for CSN (and Y), Graham Nash is kept busy curating their live legacy.

MOJO PRESENTS • The lovable sprite of the Pixies, The Breeders and The Amps, it’s taken KIM DEAL nearly 40 years of music making – plus rehab, bereavement and lockdown – to deliver a solo album. Now she’s touring it. What kept her? “It takes me a long time to like a song,” she tells GRAYSON HAVER CURRIN.

pale fire • SALIF KEITA BATTLED VIOLENT PREJUDICE AGAINST BIGGEST POP STAR, INSPIRED BY HIS NOBLE LINEAGE AND THE DEFIANT EXAMPLE OF FELA KUTI. IN 2018, HE LOOKED READY TO REST ON HIS CONSIDERABLE LAURELS, BUT A NEW ALBUM FINDS HIS GOLDEN VOICE STILL A SHINING BEACON. "A MUSICIAN IS NEVER IN RETIREMENT," HE TELLS ANDREW PERRY.

gilty pleasures • FOUR PRECIOUS...
