• Lucius Good Grief review – melodramatic pop with outsized ideas
  (Mom Pop) Related: Lucius: 'Dressing like twins gives us a giggle' An album influenced by touring is an album that sets alarm bells ringing. Thankfully, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig spare us the laments about Arkansas service stations running out of jerky in favour of focusing on the emotional swings that occur after too much time away from home. You can hear it in the titles – Madness, Truce, Gone Insane – and in the references to being held at gunpoint and difficult relationships. The melodrama is given a widescreen pop backdrop – the girl-group sound of their last album, Wildewoman, now beefed up with explosive orchestral choruses, synthy 80s references and the odd key change. You sense they’re aiming to follow the ULTRA smart likes of Goldfrapp or St Vincent, but creating truly unique pop is one of the hardest tricks to pull off. At times Lucius sound like they’re trying too hard to be clever (see the overly theatrical wails that conclude Gone Insane), at others they merely sound formulaic, and even alittle dated. Something About You, for instance, recalls Girls Aloud – no terrible thing, but hardly a sound to getexcited about in 2016. Continue reading...



• Obituary Rudy Ray Moore
  Underground legend and the inspiration for gangsta rapRude, crude and extremely profane, Rudy Ray Moore, who has died aged 81, was an underground legend of black American entertainment. "Underground" remains the correct adjective to describe Moore's success, as he never came near to achieving mainstream appeal. But as a stand-up comedian, film star and singer he enjoyed decades of acclaim among urban African-American communities. If his profanity-laced comedy routines and no-budget movies appeared to be made strictly for ghetto audiences, he more recently became an icon of ironic urban hip to those nostalgic for black American culture before MTV.Born in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the first of seven children, Moore grew up doing menial work to help his family. After moving to Cleveland, Ohio, he worked as a kitchenhand and began to study tap DANCE Aged 17, he moved to Milwaukee and got a job dancing in a nightclub as Prince DuMarr. This led him to join a travelling black variety show where he did his apprenticeship as a singer, DANCE and comedian. Enlisted into the US military, he served in Korea and West Germany, where his performances earned him the nickname "the Harlem hillbilly". He settled in Seattle and began recording in the proto-rock'n'roll style then ascendant. His records never sold in sizeable quantities but he remained determined to succeed as an entertainer and moved to Los Angeles in 1959. That year he issued his first comedy album, Below the Belt.

• Beth Ditto Fake Sugar review – sequinned stompers to strut to
  (Virgin EMI)In a world of received-pronunciation indie, wispy club-track warbling and London Grammar, it’s great to have Beth Ditto back, with her decibels to rival Aretha Franklin and flotilla of sequinned sizzle. Her first solo album since the Gossip split retells her familiar story of Arkansas gal-done-good, running the gamut of classic 1970s and 80s pop – Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, Suicide, Paul Simon – alongside the odd angular stomper that nods to the Soulwax remixes of her former band. Brilliantly, some songs have the effect of Trentemøller’s ELECTRO rockabilly with Ditto as Tarantino heroine, while elsewhere Stevie Nicks dominates, especially on the title track, which coolly updates Mac with a Balearic house beat. There’s even a rock ballad moment on Lover, as if Ditto is alone on a saloon stage until the backdrop falls away to reveal the stadium. Continue reading...

• Al Green – 10 of the best
  From a chequered career, the tussle between the religious and the secular is audible on all of Green’s best songs – even the ones he hatesHe didn’t think much of it at the time and quickly came to loathe having to perform it, but Al Green’s first hit was arguably the most important record he ever made. Greene – who dropped the e after he released his debut album – grew up dirt poor, one of 10 children born to a sharecropper family in Arkansas. One night, after being paid $800 for an entire year’s work, his parents decided to move the family north. They piled the kids and their few belongings into a truck and hit the road under cover of darkness. Young Albert’s new life in Grand Rapids, Michigan, revolved around church and music, but when his dad caught him playing a Jackie Wilson record at home, he threw his son out of the house. Greene stayed with friends, with whom he formed a band, initially called the Creations. By 1967, the band was aware of their lead singer’s promise and star power. They were billed as Al Greene and the Soul Mates, and released this self-penned single on their own label. The record became a local and then a national hit, and the band were invited to the Harlem Apollo, where an ecstatic crowd called them back to perform nine encores of the song. The performance, however, was only witnessed by a handful of people. Late in 1968, the demoralised singer – now touring solo, his Soul Mates all pursuing day jobs back in Michigan – performed a gig in a bar in a tiny Texas town. On arrival, he discovered he was playing support to singer-songwriter Willie Mitchell and would be backed by Mitchell’s band. Eager to get a break, Greene introduced himself to Mitchell and tried to let the older man know he was looking for help and advice, without losing face by actually saying as much. When it was Greene’s turn to soundcheck,he performed his signature song in an unprecedentedly quiet, low-key manner. Mitchell and his band were won over; after the gig, they agreed

• When Americas hottest jazz stars were sent to cool coldwar tensions
  When a US blighted by racial unrest found itself needing to win a global propaganda war, a team of musical ambassadors was assembled. The result was anything but straightforwardFayetteville, Arkansas – an oversized and strangely unpopulated university town in the heart of American chicken-farming country – is not where you’d expect to uncover secrets about the cold war. And yet four years ago that’s where I was, researching a documentary about American jazz musicians’ little-known role as cold war cultural ambassadors. The University of Arkansas Library houses the collected papers of J William Fulbright, a long-serving senator from Arkansas and architect of the Fulbright scholarships, the US government exchange program he founded in 1946. By some clerical quirk of fate, Fulbright’s archives include a huge number of documents relating to the US government’s “cultural presentations program” – the effort to export American culture as a weapon in the fight against Soviet communism.The postwar years saw the entrenchment of the cold war: a direct stand-off between the US and the Soviet Union on the one hand, an indirect battle to win the allegiances of nations across the globe on the other. Propaganda was used to sell the competing ideologies of communism and democracy, and to undercut the claims of the other side. As the US Information Agency director, Theodore Streibert, proudly announced in a promotional film in 1954: “Our job is to tell the world who we are, what we stand for and what we believe in.” But, at least as far as race was concerned, the US Information Service had another job entirely.
