Gretsch is honored to exclusively debut Canadian duo Whitehorse’s new music video for “Who’s Been Talkin,’” a guitar-driven, bluesy ditty off The Northern South Vol. 2 EP, due out January 2019.
The Northern South Vol. 2 is the second installment of a project by multi-instrumentalists Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland that has the power couple revising classic blues hits from the 50s and 60s. Its first installment, The Northern South Vol. 1, received a JUNO Award nomination for Blues Album of the Year in 2016.
“Blues gave rock ‘n’ roll its nerve. It breaks, bends and distorts rules,” said McClelland of The Northern South Vol. 2. “This sense of abandon, emotional and musical urgency trickled into all forms of modern day music.”
“These songs spoke to the basics,” added Doucet. “They communicated simple truths and realities in ways that transcended boundaries.”
Enjoy the video for “Who’s Been Talkin’” below with Doucet playing his stunning G6636T Players Edition White Falcon.
