Mary Timony’s fifth solo album, Untame the Tiger, is notable for its layered and decisively foregrounded acoustic and electric guitars. The classically trained singer-songwriter made her name in the 1990s as part of the alt-rock band Helium, and as a solo artist she’s dabbled in psychedelia, prog-rock, and blues- and South Asian-inflected folk music. But while a few of the songs here—the title track, “The Dream,” and “No Thirds”—feature synth strings, the majority of the album sticks to a traditional rock-trio lineup with occasional percussion flourishes.

Untame the Tiger also has a specific time and setting in mind: early 1970s Britain. “No Thirds,” for one, is built around droning guitars that nod to Richard Thompson. Like Thompson, Timony is unfashionably fond of guitar solos, which distill the mood of her songs down to their purest element. In her hands, the guitar is alternately capable of crying...

Exclusive: Gersh said Monday that it has signed Gabriella A. Moses, the up-and-coming filmmaker whose debut feature Boca Chica is set to world premiere in International Narrative Competition at the 2023 Tribeca Festival.

An indie coming-of-age drama set in the Dominican Republic, Boca Chica follows Desi (Scarlet Camilo), a 12-year-old who spends her days dreaming of becoming a famous singer, finding her goal threatened by lies, the ever-presence of child prostitution, and looming, sinister betrayal from those who should protect her most.

A Dominican-Guyanese American writer and director on a mission to share stories with underrepresented protagonists that test viewers’ perceptions of identity and their imaginations, Moses’ work has received support from the Sundance Institute’s Creative Producing Lab, the Tribeca Film Institute’s All Access Lab and Creators Market, IFP/The Gotham’s No Borders Film Market and the Los Cabos Gabriel Figueroa Film Fund programs.

The Brooklyn-based artist, who...

Jerry Castle was at the peak of Rolling Stones fandom when he met Bobby Keys, the hard-living, Texan-born sax player who performed gritty, iconic solos all over Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and several other Stones classics. Castle, a Nashville-based, Americana and rock singer-songwriter, was watching the Stones in Exile doc on repeat — and halfway through reading Keith Richards’ autobiography, Life, which portrays Keys’ pirate ways in vivid detail — when he reached out to saxophonist in 2014, asking him to play on a song he’d been working up, “With the Band.

The Rolling Stones are set to be immortalized on television in a new limited series for FX from the team behind The Crown.

The Sticky Fingers rockers are for the first time allowing their music to be used for a drama. FX boss John Landgraf said that they are in advanced talks for the project, which will be written by High Fidelity author Nick Hornby, and is set for a two season order.

The high-end series will focus on the band’s glory years between its formation through to 1972, which includes a fantastic run of hit albums such as Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street.

It is not, however, the first time that lead singer Mick Jagger has had his hand on a premium drama. He co-created Vinyl, set in the world of music in 1970s New York, with Martin Scorses,...

The Rolling Stones release their latest compilation, Honk, on Friday. A collection of vintage hits (think usual suspects “Brown Sugar,” “Wild Horses”) and latter-day cuts off albums like 2005’s A Bigger Bang and their 2016 blues foray, the set also contains a disc of live performances, including a rendition of “Dead Flowers” that finds Mick Jagger trading verses with Brad Paisley.

Recorded during Night One of a 2013 two-night stand in Philadelphia on the band’s 50 & Counting Tour, “Dead Flowers” receives an extra shot of twang from Paisley’s cameo. The Nashville...

The star of pop and film talks about being cast as a sex kitten of the 60s, drugs, homelessness, and why she will never sell Mick Jagger's love letters

Hello, Marianne. How are you?

Hello. I'm well, thank you. I've been appearing in Kurt Weill's Seven Deadly Sins in Linz, Austria, so I've been very happy. I'm singing and acting, with great costumes and stage sets. The two transvestites in little leather shorts are very important. It's a very violent, sexy piece.

Do Austrians know you as Marianne Faithfull or by your title, Baroness von Sacher-Masoch (1 )

Nobody knows me as Baroness von Sacher-Masoch. Fuck off! [Laughter] I'm Marianne Faithfull.

We're approaching half a century since your first single, 1964's As Tears Go By.

I know, I can't believe it. On the other hand, I can't do anything else and never wanted to. I once asked my father what he wanted me to be.

Yesterday, the Genie Awards, Canada's equivalent of the Oscars for those who don't know, were handed out. This year, Polytechnique dominated the Genie Awards and even took the award for Best Motion Picture. However, the presentation of the award on TV and on webcast was too short. Besides, it wasn't a live presentation and not all the awards were shows on TV/webcast.
