THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM • In 1990, WORLD PARTY’s Goodbye Jumbo heralded a restoration of ’60s pop values and promised the big time for its eccentric auteur, KARL WALLINGER. But the obsessiveness that made a masterpiece could have cost him his life, and a “horribly clandestine” flit by his band didn’t help. Thirty years on, can MOJO detect new, faint strains of genius at work? “It’s useless to try and find out what I’m up to,” he warns JAMES McNAIR.

WORLD OF ECO • Five key songs from Goodbye Jumbo, with help from Karl Wallinger.

YESTERDAY ONCE MORE • Resonant with a sadness you can’t quite place, CARPENTERS music transcends its time and the kitsch niche that detractors would assign it. With pictures from a new book retracing their Journey, and an exclusive interview with RICHARD CARPENTER, MOJO comes to terms with their tragedy, and legacy. “I lost my friend, my sister and my musical partner,” hears JIM IRVIN

MOJO PRESENTS • Outsider, provocateur, chameleon: STURGILL SIMPSON has been confounding – and influencing – Nashville’s music establishment since 2014. And while happier in his heart in 2021, he’s no more eager to compromise. “I don’t give a shit if you can understand what I’m saying,” he tells BILL DeMAIN. “I’m not trying to get on the radio.”

Pulling Up ROOTS • Fucking with the template, the Sturgill Simpson way, by John Mulvey.

THE SOUND AND THE FURY •...
