The Houston scene's gospel-bred singer Diunna Greenleaf gets the cover nod, for a feature that takes a deep dive into her 25 years in the blues – out front in an issue that has pieces on a bunch of strongly taletned blues heroes and heroines that deserve a print spotlight –including Clarksdale, Mississippi's Danva Johnson, Bay Area player Pat Wilder, the not-to-be forgotton story of Left Hand Charle, Chicago legend Bukka White and lots more! Loads of solid shorter blues news items, review and more, too. Magazine

Roctober strikes again with another fantastic issue of music wisdom and knowledge from the far side of the spectrum! This time around, the spotlight's on Zory Zenith & Zolar X – who are covered in unusual detail – but our Dusty Groove ears are most tuned to the articles on Archie Bell, Kraftwerk, and Bernie Worrell. Yet as usual, we find our eyes straying all over the issue – captivated by features on oddball artists we'd never heard before, and drawn in by the always-great reviews, comics, and smaller bits in the magazine! Other features include It's The Law, Hall Of Dynamic Greatness, Gaybot, Nardwuar Vs Tommy Chong, and Willie Restum. Magazine

A post-punk band with the wisdom to look to psych era inspiration, laying the groundwork for indie rock to come and all the while getting surprising mainstream success in their heyday – The Teardrop Explodes are the rightful cover feature for this issue of Shindig! This issue has plenty of cool features, items and snapshots of tons of other cool bands from the 60s and 70 and relatively contemporary torch carriers including The Soup Dragons, The Cramps, Edgar Jones, and look at gargage revival 45s, The Creeps, Permanent Clear Light, The Playn Jayn and lots more!
