Thelen Creative "Ruby Tuesday"

There are just some songs that transcend generations; it's certainly the case when it comes to classic Jazz, Folk music, and dance reels from earlier times. More and more, I see younger generations re-discovering the Rock n' Roll songs of their grandparents' generation and re-imagining it in unique and fresh ways. That is the case with Thelen Creative's release of the classic Rolling Stones hit "Ruby Tuesday," which drops Feb 22, 2022. 

Probably the most striking thing about this version of a 1960's hit is the embracing of an indie sound that most of us will remember from the 1990's. There is something of a charming and authentic "garage" sound to version (a welcome development in an age of over-auto-tuned vocals and programmed backing instruments). The vocals are genuine, with lovely strain at times, and the instrumentation is, well, grungy. It makes me nolstagic for two periods of our American last-century.
