There is cool and there is super cool. Mayer Hawthorne definitely falls under the latter. Much like Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, he is a revivalist of a musical sound and era long gone and now relegated to oldies stations across America. It is refreshing to hear that particular sound come back without any of negativity or wasted potential surrounding it. Also, Hawthorne's videos are worth your viewing time and can be viewed after the jump. Definitely check him and his album, A Strange Arrangement
, out as well as pick up the works of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
.If you like the cover of "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," check out Stones Throw to read about the awesome single package for it.
