There is something genuinely impressive about how Junior Brown bridges the gap between Bakersfield country and California surf rock. I tried explaining the appeal of a dual-neck guitar to my son recently, and this specific recording was really the only proof I needed to provide. While the 1962 original is the blueprint, this version adds a level of technical proficiency that is hard to ignore. It makes me wish I knew half as much about car engines as I do about cloud infrastructure.
