• Review: Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats Bring Retro-Soul on Second LP

  08-03-2018 23:23 via rollingstone.com
  Three years before Justin Timberlake stopped shaving and retreated to a cabin in the woods, bearded Colorado singer Nathaniel Rateliff was already showing the appeal – and power – of rustic-white-dude soul.

• Review: Jimi Hendrix's 'Both Sides of the Sky' Mixes Treasures, Fool's Gold

  08-03-2018 22:14 via rollingstone.com
  Jimi played guitar, jamming good with Billy and Buddy and the Experience – no, wait, that was Ziggy. But Hendrix was almost certainly a model for Bowie's space crawler, an electric deity who sacrificed himself as he took it all too far. His music was haunted by death from the start – "Will I live tomorrow?" he asked on his first album – and he chased after it at a furious pace, recording more than 70 times in the year before his passing.
