Tall Juan Covers “Baby”

March 24, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Tall Juan‘s recently been on my radar, and while I typically don’t run covers, I’ve never actually heard the original from Argentina’s She-Devils. Apparently the band influenced Juan with their fight for LGBTQ and women’s rights, thus he’s dedicating this song to those people in his life who face similar struggles. His forthcoming album Olden Goldies does seem to harken back to the purity of rock n’ roll, when barriers were being broken and trends didn’t hold as much meaning. Any way you shape it, seems like a thoughtful release with catchy songs, so I’m picking it up from BUFU on May 5th.

Enjoying This New Tall Juan Jam

February 27, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It should come as no surprise that Tall Juan, though hailing from Argentina, has found his living in New York. His work, from what I’ve heard, has this brattiness that encompasses a great deal of my old record collection. It’s energetic, filled with hooks and just enough bravado to make Juan endearing to listeners. Ultimately, the song’s just a lot of fun, and sometimes, no frills rock n’ roll just feels right, as it does here. Look for his debut Olden Goldies to hit via BUFU on May 5th. Probably doesn’t hurt that he hangs with Juan Waters and Mac DeMarco either.
