MOJO MAGAZINE APRIL (Mar 04)

Next month's MOJO magazine comes with a free CD - "The New Dictionary of Blues and Soul," a 'hand-picked collection of modern day grit 'n' grooves' featuring tracks by The Sugarman Three, Sharon Jones, James Hunter, Eli Reed, Watermelon Slim, and... The New Mastersounds. Here's what Mojo's editor has to say about how he made the selection: "While every artist represented here is unique, all of them share a love of roots music that reverberates through their own performances." Precisely!

Daptone Doppelgangers (Feb 20)

Interesting feature on the excellent All Music blog. Now that elements of the classic funk/soul sound are showing up again on mainstream records, journalists are starting to connect the dots. It's a shame Top of the Pops was axed from BBC1 - they'd surely have had us on there miming to One Note Brown.

Feast of Love (Nov 12)

This apparently rather charming film, starring Morgan Freeman, is on general release in the UK this month. If you stay for the end credits you'll hear our track 'Your Love is Mine' featuring the vocal delights of Corinne Bailey Rae. The song was originally released on our 2003 album 'Be Yourself' and then again as a single in 2006.

Simon records with Corinne Bailey Rae (Nov 03)

Simon played drums for Corinne Bailey Rae on a recording session for BBC Radio One's 'Established 1967' album. High profile artists were approached and asked to pick a tune from a particular year to cover. Corinne had chosen the 2006 Raconteurs track 'Steady as She Goes'. Also on the recording were ex-NMS organist Bob Birch, Roughneck bassist Neil Innes, and Ben Barker - from the Haggis Horns - on guitar. The session was recorded at Hall Place Studios in Leeds by NMS regular engineer Richard Formby.
