I was listening to The Astronauts' 1964 live album "Astronauts Orbit Kampus," today and heard their rendition of "Greenback Dollar." I thought it was pretty good! I had never heard the song before, and after some research, I realized why it sounded like a surf version of a Kingston Trio song.... 'Cause that's pretty much what it was!
I was inspired to figure out the chords, and then I figured I'd give it the ol' One Take treatment and record it live in the basement (aka New Syrinx Studios).
Turned out pretty good for one mic set in the middle of the room! Check it out!
