Music Appreciation

Just when I thought that the current music cant compete with music of yesterday. I hear this, and it touches me. Maybe its the strings, he composition, the background singers or lead singer. Hell I dont know, but this is such a beautifully done song. Let me know if anyone else feels this way.

(9,291 posts)that the actual keyboard they use is the mainstay keyboard of the 1970s. Maybe , thats helps my brain remember the sound. Still nice to have it back. A new person, who writes, play and sing their own music. Hallelujah.

(33,643 posts)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
