• On the radar Jared James Nichols
  Read more about On the radar: Jared James Nichols at MusicRadar.com All good bluesmen have a killer back story. 22-year-old Jared James Nichols grew up in the shadow of Wisconsin’s Alpine Valley amphitheatre – the site of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s final show and tragic helicopter crash – and seems to have channelled the area’s aura.“I used to sneak up there with my guitar,” he tells MusicRadar. “I remember when I was about 15 years old, I rode my bike up there and stood right on the big X in THE MID le of the stage for three hours and just riffed out.”His tribute seems to have pleased the blues gods, as Nichols has since developed into one hell of a promising torch-bearer – blending his beloved SRV, Paul Kossoff, and Alberts Collins and King, into an electrifying brand of his own.“My mum used to take me out to blues jams and say, ‘My son plays guitar, can he play with the band tonight?’ he recalls. “They’d all look at her funny, and I’d be scared to death, then sure enough they’d call me up and I’d play with them. One thing led to another and we started doing that three or four nights a week.”The chance to get onstage and jam from such an early age helped Nichols find his burgeoning inner bluesman – and get a hold on the essential ‘feel’ that can prove so elusive to younger players. “I just dropped what I thought I was supposed to play and started doing what felt good,” he says.‘What felt good’ was losing his guitar pick, and now – aside from his Les Paul Junior and Blackstar Series One – it’s that which has the biggest impact on his tone.“When I play with my fingers, I can coax all of the different tones I want with just the volume and the tone knobs,” he explains. “If something goes wrong, it’s the guitar, the amp or me!”It’s a stripped-back approach to the instrument that’s in-tune with the blues ethos, so if you’re struggling with your playing, start listening to yourself...“The biggest thing that hinders most players is not finding their own voice,” summarises Nichols.

• Hank Williams Jr Obama is a Muslim president who hates the US
  Country singer, who has previously been in trouble for comparing the president to Adolf Hitler, tells crowd at Iowa State Fair that Obama is plotting to destroy the United StatesHank Williams Jr has become the second musician in as many weeks to accuse Barack Obama of plotting to destroy the United States.

• Ethan Iverson review – Bad Pluss populist celebrates Britain
  Kings Place, London Over three diverting and unexpected shows, the pianist and friends reimagined music, from Henry Purcell to Courtney PineEighteen years of reinventing music from Nirvana and Queen to Stravinsky with jazz trio The Bad Plus might have labelled Wisconsin pianist Ethan Iverson a fervent jazz populist. But he’s also a polymath of fascinating eccentricities and an anglophile. He celebrated all this, and his post-Bad Plus life, with a three-day residency at Kings Place in which he reimagined British music – all the way from Henry Purcell to Stan Tracey and Courtney Pine.On Saturday, Iverson and writer Richard Williams talked Doctor Who, Soft Machine and British jazz, and locals Laura Jurd (trumpet) Pete Wareham (tenor sax), Tom Herbert (bass) and Sebastian Rochford (drums) helped him pay spirited tribute to the latter. Iverson impressively invoked the late Stan Tracey’s signature piano sound of limping Thelonious Monkish runs and irrefutable low-end bangs on Tracey’s sardonically jaunty Rainbow at the Five Mile Road, and Wareham’s quietly probing tenor lines expanded on Courtney Pine’s fine 1988 composition Beyond the Thought of My Last Reckoning. Jurd’s bright sound and narrative sense illuminated Nikki Iles’ serpentine Fly’s Dilemma and Jamaican great Joe Harriott’s Calypso Sketches, and Michael Gibbs’ And on the Third Day was a patiently beautiful slow-burn.
