THE MOJO INTERVIEW • The rich voice of Manfred Mann, and nearly the Stones, he swung hard in Swinging London before God and his choirboy past caught up with him. In 2025 he still sings the blues – but not the naughty stuff. “I’ve changed a lot,” confesses Paul Jones.

JONES IN OUR BONES • Three epistles of Paul, received by Mat Snow.

LET ME HAVE IT ALL • The passing of SLY STONE in June shone light on a genre-mashing genius whose peak, multi-hued music preached unity and transcendence. Stone’s world darkened as drugs took over and The Family Stone fell apart, but the fruits of a recent, unlikely renaissance included a candid memoir and some tantalising music. “Sly still had all these amazing creative talents,” discovers STEVIE CHICK.

“I Was Like, Leonard, Shut Up!” • Love - sometimes tough - for CMAT’s Hall Of Famers.

Impractical MAGIC • Inspired, unique but ill-matched, THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND were the hippy-folk harlequins whose spellbinding music touched the ineffable, skirting the edge of disintegration. A new box set states their case for inclusion among the ‘60s’ true greats. If only its creators could feel the love. “It would be nice to be able to talk,” they tell JIM WIRTH.

“IT’S COMPLETELY ITS OWN THINGS” • A new-gen folk star - Lankum’s DARAGH LYNEH - on how he fell down an ISB rabbit...
