This latest single from Power Pop obsessive Jim Basnight is not exactly timely as we head into the coldest weekend of the year (well, so far) but it does offer a promise that there will be endless days of sunshine and relaxation coming soon (well, in about six months and after retirement age respectively I guess). It’s taken from the new album ‘Summertime Peculiar‘ which Jim Basnight describes as offering a slight change of direction “The album is a departure musically, as I get into a lot of new feels and instrumentation, including horns, woodwinds, strings and unique vocal arrangements, to go with a wide swath of feels.”
Jim Basnight also recently scored an appearance on the Cherry Red Records release ‘Looking For The Magic: American Power Pop In The Seventies‘ where his band The Moberlys could be found alongside the likes of Ramones, Cheap Trick, Todd Rundgren, MC5, Badfinger, Runaways, and Big Star.
