If you follow my blog then it is probably no surprise that I love pop music from the late 1950s and early 1960’s. Frankie Valli. Connie Francis. The Beach Boys. The Everly Brothers. I love it all. Now I also love is indie music (duh), so here is where those two loves converge.
The following is a mixtape of cover songs that I’ve slowly collected in my iTunes. They are songs by some of my favorite artists from the 50’s/60’s covered by some of my favorite artists of today. I’m calling it California Nights, I hope you nosepickers enjoy it.
