Album Review: Laughing Man – The Lovings (63-69)

Clearly, Laughing Man’s The Lovings (63-69) was meant to be heard on vinyl. The hiss of the record player is almost audible as the first bluesy notes of swinging opener “Blueberry Bees” sputter. From there, time travel is easy. Everything from the lo-fi production to the chord progressions and even the title suggest that the debut release from the local trio is an homage to music of a long-gone era.
