Bassist Robert Trujillo makes Metallica vocal debut on new album ’72 Seasons’

Jeff Miller There’s always been a place for mystery in pop music, and on this year’s Coachella lineup, there was no name on the bill more mysterious than that of Jai Paul, the reclusive British producer whose only official album, “Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones)” is actually a finished version of an unofficial album leaked a decade ago. The songwriter has never performed live, so for his cult of fans, his name on the Coachella lineup meant the public debut of a reclusive icon whose career has played out strictly online. That low-profile mystique carried over to the livestream — or, rather, didn’t: Apparently, the set was exclusive for actual concertgoers and was not livestreamed (or, at least, hadn’t been by Sunday morning).

A.D. Amorosi Whether as singer-songwriter, activist or photographer, Graham Nash has never been one to let moss grow beneath him. Even less so, at 81, it seems, as Nash is mounting his latest tour this week (after releasing “Graham Nash: Live – Songs for Beginners/Wild Tales” in 2022), publishing his intimate photographs from the past and present in books such as “A Life in Focus,” and releasing his first studio LP since 2016’s “This Path Tonight” with the May 19 arrival of “Now,” on BMG. Though saddened by the sudden passing of his old friend and longtime collaborator David Crosby in January, Nash finds harmony and solace in working with pals such as vocalist Allan Clarke, his co-founding partner in the Hollies 60 years ago (a date marked by Nash’s current tour title, “Sixty Years of Songs and Stories”). Then there are Nash’s strikingly frank new songs on “Now,” some critical of all things MAGA and Trump-ian, some dedicated to love and passion. Nash even manages to pen a track dedicated to the good, the bad and the sad of his relationship with his superstar bandmates in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Nash spoke to Variety from Sellersville, PA, before showtime on the first day of his 2023 tour.The other day on YouTube’s “Kyle Meredith with…,” you revealed that David Crosby passed away suddenly during a battle with COVID-19.

Roy Trakin Like their unlikely namesake, the Zombies have had several lives since being formed by keyboardist Rod Argent and vocalist Colin Blunstone in St. Albans in Hertfordshire U.K. in the early 1960s. The first British Invasion act after the Beatles to score a chart-topping U.S. hit with “She’s Not There,” the guys disbanded shortly before their 1968 soon-to-be-cult album, çOdessey and Oracle,” was released. That collection produced another stateside smash in “Time of the Season,” which Al Kooper belatedly convinced Columbia’s Clive Davis to put it out. Since Argent and Blunstone reunited as the Zombies in 2004, the group has released four albums, the latest, the Covid-delayed “Different Game,” on indie Cooking Vinyl, which serves as the follow-up to 2015’s aptly titled “Still Got That Hunger.”
