R.I.P. Nick Tosches

Nick Tosches has died. He was one of my favourite writers. Total firebrand. You almost had to hold on to the handrail while you worked out how to balance the book and turn the pages. He wrote with fury, anger and huge, huge heart. Tosches was equal parts Lester Bangs and Hunter S. Thompson. Or […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 240

Jerry Lee Lewis, Country Songs For City Folk (1965) I always thought “The Killer” was incredible – Jerry Lee Lewis, just a ferocious talent. And the narrative I knew, for the longest time, was that he was done at the end of the 1950s. A blast. A fall from grace. And then in fact total […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 694

Jerry Lee Lewis, Would You Take Another Chance On Me? (1972) I haven’t actually listened to this yet – but I do know a lot of the songs, I got quite hooked on the country/gospel phase of Jerry Lee Lewis’ career (as important as his part in rock’n’roll, well maybe not as important but certainly […]

V/A: Bobby Gillespie presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down

The Vinyl Countdown # 1232

Jerry Lee Lewis, Live At The Star Club, Hamburg (1964) Jerry Lee Lewis is a bad, bad man – and so, so good on this record. If you were ever in need of any proof that The Killer was/is rock’n’roll then place this down on the platter and stand back! Sample Track: Good Golly Miss […]
