EXCLUSIVE JIMI HENDRIX: LIVE IN 1970 “We plan for our sound to go inside the soul of the person,” Hendrix says in an archival video from the new Showtime documentary Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church. Head over to Rolling-Stone.com to see an exclusive clip of the legend performing “Purple Haze” for one of his biggest crowds ever, at the Atlanta International Pop Festival just months before his death. RS FILMS SHERYL CROW UP CLOSE See Crow perform at Nashville’s tiny Bluebird Café and talk about her past life singing McDonald’s jingles, her current life in Music City and more. Presented by Patrón.

Comedy Mogul KEVIN HART’S ON THE COVER of Rolling Stone not only because he’s funny, but because he’s spent years paying his comedy dues [“Kevin Hart’s Funny Business,” RS 1241]. “All shots to my pride have been taken,” he tells Jonah Weiner. It’s nice when the hard work pays off and the success is deserved. Jayson Read, via the Internet THE SCENE WHERE HART buys all that Cartier bling just because he can? Priceless. It’s rare for an artist to let a reporter see something so totally unguarded. Richard Cohen, via the Internet SAYING YOU DON’T WANT your son to be gay but you’re not homophobic – isn’t that like a white person saying they don’t want their son to marry a black woman but they’re not racist?

Meteorologist Eric Holthaus’ story about how the terrifying impacts of climate change are already being felt around the world was RS.com’s highest-traffic piece ever [“The Point of No Return,” RS 1241]. “I’ve thought a lot about why it took off the way it did,” says Holthaus. “The number-one comment, after ‘Holy shit, this is scary,’ was ‘What can we still do?’ There is a strong engagement from people wanting to help change the trajectory, even if the cause feels lost. You don’t want to just resign yourself to the fact that the next few hundred years are going to be really difficult for every species on the planet.” WHAT MORE HAS TO BE written or reported to convince Americans that climate change is real and underway? The climate echo chamber has…

1. Lana Del Rey “High by the Beach” Lana’s back to her old self: On this sultry summer jam from her upcoming Honeymoon, she nails the tragically cool pop vibes that made her a star. “All I wanna do is get high by the beach,” she sings. We know the feeling! 2. Potty Mouth “Cherry Picking” A little bit of Breeders, a little bit of Cars and a lot of can’tmiss hooks – this irresistible single from the Massachusetts act is as much fun as you’re likely to find in a new alt-rock song this decade. 3. Deerhunter “Snakeskin” Ever had a Bowie phase? Sure you have. Bet you didn’t take it as far as Deerhunter, though. Their new tune is a sleek shot of Young Americans style. 4. FKA Twigs M3LL155X EP No one does sexy-nightmare music like FKA Twigs.…

CLASSIC The Rolling Stones “Honky Tonk Women” Their performance at Hyde Park in 1969 struck my beat bone. The Charlie Watts fill in the second verse over Mick’s vocals is damn near hip-hop! It inspired a rapped interpolation on our new album. N.W.A “Fuck tha Police” Ice T and King Tee got on base about police brutality – then N.W.A hit it in the upper deck. Isaac Hayes “Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic” Public Enemy’s Bomb Squad used to crowd in a room and play mix-andmash records. This song had a snatch that stood out. I ran it into the end zone as “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos.” NEW Kendrick Lamar “King Kunta” I can dig the fact that Kendrick cares less if you can maintain balance as he chops into the listener’s head. He fills every space with a lot of nerve. DJ Snake and…

‘Louder!” says keith richards, raising his index finger as he peers into a sound booth at New York’s Electric Lady Studios. Soon, “Crosseyed Heart,” a raw Delta-blues stomp, blares from the speakers. The room is filled with the sound of Richards’ fingerpicked acoustic guitar and familiar growl as he sings about juggling two lovers at once (opening line: “I love my sugar, but I love my honey too”). Richards, looking stadium-ready in a snakeskin jacket, is holding a listening session for Crosseyed Heart (due September 18th), his first solo album since 1992’s Main Offender, which was recorded with his band the X-Pensive Winos. Crosseyed Heart is a more intimate album: Richards played the majority of the instruments himself, and showed off his musical personalities – including hard-luck rock & roll (“Trouble,”…
