October 33-Black Pumas

[Corgigal]

Just when I thought that the current music can’t compete with music of yesterday. I hear this, and it touches me. Maybe it’s the strings, he composition, the background singers or lead singer. Hell I don’t know, but this is such a beautifully done song. Let me know if anyone else feels this way.

1. I dig these cats

Also, you probably still do think the music of yesteryear is better ... because this could've easily dropped in 1973, no problem, verbatim to the version we're watching

2. I read somewhere,

that the actual keyboard they use is the mainstay keyboard of the 1970s. Maybe , that’s helps my brain remember the sound. Still nice to have it back. A new person, who writes, play and sing their own music. Hallelujah.

3. He's actually playing a Nord Electro 6D on this song, which is a current model

Original Electro 6 is from about 2000 IIRC.

However, that keyboard is sitting directly on TOP ... of a Fender Rhodes Piano, which is definitely vintage late 60's/early 70's.

Two SIGNATURE songs with the Fender Rhodes sound are: Doors - Riders on the Storm and Paul Simon - Still Crazy After All These Years ... but he's not playing the Rhodes on this song, just saying it's part of his kit

I would furthermore guess that the Nord 6 is playing in a Hammond Organ emulation mode (or something close to it) as it does have a classic Hammond sound coming from it. Hammond Organ has LONG been a staple sound in all kinds of music.

Guitars are also classic Fenders, guitarist with a Telecaster and singer with a Jaguar. I'd guess both are 70's models, or re-issues of 70's models.

Bassist playing a Fender Precision, which has been around since 1951, and is unequivocally the single most popular bass guitar ever invented, used on perhaps 90% of every song ever made since around 1960 ... if that song has an Electric Bass on it
