The new Uncut issue features a rare long interview with Siouxsie Sioux tied to a Downside Up reissue, a tribute to Dolly Parton, a free compilation of Richard Thompson rarities, and features on Roxy Music, Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Stevie Wonder and more.
Uncut publishes a tribute to Dolly Parton that frames her life and career through her talent for turning adversity into opportunity and notes the strong public response to her death.
The magazine includes a free CD of Richard Thompson rarities and live cuts, with a guided piece inside explaining the compilation.
Additional features cover Neil Young, Roxy Music, Pearl Jam, Stevie Wonder, Teenage Fanclub, Hawkwind and archival Beatles material across the issue.
# What this issue delivers
# Siouxsie & The Banshees: a rare, long interview
# Dolly Parton: a life reframed
Uncut includes a tribute to Dolly Parton by Alastair McKay. The piece foregrounds Parton's knack for transforming insecurity and adversity into self-invention, songwriting and public generosity. The magazine points to the public reaction to her death as part of the context for the tribute and situates the affection she inspired alongside her professional achievements. The write-up treats that combination — craft and character — as the basis for understanding her place in popular music.
# Free CD: Richard Thompson rarities and live cuts
This issue comes with a cover-mounted CD collecting rarities and live performances by Richard Thompson. The magazine teases an internal guide where Thompson himself walks readers through the compilation. The CD is presented as a curated collection aimed at both long-term fans and listeners who want an entry point into Thompson's less familiar recordings.
# Other features and archival pieces
Beyond the cover and the free CD, Uncut lists a range of additional stories and features: pieces on Neil Young and Roxy Music, profiles or reviews involving Pearl Jam and Stevie Wonder, and coverage of Teenage Fanclub and Hawkwind. The issue also references archival Beatles material in feature form elsewhere in the magazine.
# How the issue is organized for readers
Short features and longer interviews are combined with reissue coverage and a physical compilation disc. The Siouxsie interview anchors the issue, the Dolly Parton tribute provides obituary-context reflection, and the Richard Thompson CD gives a tangible takeaway. Other artists appear across dedicated features and landscape pieces, offering a mix of contemporary interviews and archival storytelling.
# How to access this issue
The magazine includes a subscription link and an option to order a copy of the Siouxsie issue. Inside, readers will find the full Siouxsie interview, the Dolly Parton tribute on page 50, the Richard Thompson CD and the ancillary pieces on the other artists listed above.
