Time's All Gone

Although only 25, San Francisco’s Nick Waterhouse excavates the roots of American popular music with an unnervingly obsessive attention to detail. In contrast to Mark Ronson, whose production adds a contemporary sheen to the sounds of 50s and 60s Detroit and New Orleans, Waterhouse insists upon using only vintage amps and recording equipment. Times All Gone, as a result, has an uncanny graininess, as though the funk-inflected guitars, saxophone and organ really were being transmitted from another era.

On his debut album, Time's All Gone, Nick Waterhouse plays a mixture of early rock and roll, blues, and soul.
