Being the Beatles fan that I am, sometimes I just go nuts for their early rock-n-roll, and why not? I love that old-school rock sound, back when rock-n-roll drove parents insane despite the lack of profanity. It’s good stuff. So I couldn’t be more pleased the new trend in music these days is to embrace the old-school, and I haven’t heard a better example in recent months than J.D. McPherson and his song, “North Side Gal.”
Now give a listen and tell me that doesn’t sound like it came straight out of the early 60s. Awesome.
That microphone he’s using is absolutely epic. It really captures the sound of the mid-to-late 50s and early 60s. It makes him sound like Little Richard.
