The Nuc plus ultra: the return of The Vaccines and a new nugget from Bobby Keys

We no longer expected much from this British group revealed at the beginning of this century with an album aptly titled What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? After two cracking first records, the group had joined the cohort of forgotten English rock. This new album, the first since 2001, marks a new departure for The Vaccines. Not only because it marks the total takeover of singer Justin Young after the departure of guitarist and founding member Freddie Cowan, who resigned last year. But also because the songs are the most vigorous offered by the forty-year-olds in a long time. What's wrong is a production that's too smooth, American-style, with flashy guitars and drums that are too invasive. Not sure that these options guarantee The Vaccines to perform in stadiums.

Justin Young explains that he drew inspiration from Don McLean's iconic title, American Pie, released in 1971. At the same time, he continues to harbor an obsession with The Strokes, even if The Vaccines will never have the natural class of these Americans. Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations will not be a milestone but it is a good boost at the start of the year.

Disappeared in 2014, this saxophonist was the astrological twin of Keith Richards and one of his best traveling companions. After being kicked out of the Rolling Stones for a while, he toured the United States under the name Mr Brown Sugar, riding on his participation in this hit with a legendary chorus. But this enthusiast had actually started his career well before, accompanying the pioneer Buddy Holly, whom he had met as a teenager. From George Harrison to Eric Clapton, including The Who, Barbra Streisand and even Johnny Hallyday, he played on dozens of albums from the rock scene of the 1960s and 70s.

Last year, fifty years after its creation during the recording of The Stones' Goat's Head Soup in Jamaica, this completely new album saw the light of day. Benefiting from an exceptional sound restoration, this instrumental disc takes us back into a cauldron of reggae and rhythm concoctions
