I wasn't surprised when KDHX played Dionne Warwick's version of "Promises, Promises" yesterday. That was an appropriate tribute to recently departed Burt Bacharach. I was surprised later that afternoon, however, when I heard a tune that sounded Bacharach-inspired, especially in its trumpet line. I would have sworn it was from the '60s, but it's actually a new release from Jonny Benavidez featuring Cold Diamond & Mink. "Slow Down Girl" sounds so convincingly of another era--and would sound great after "The One Who Really Loves You" by Rosie & The Originals.
Talk about nailing a retro sound completely...
