Who's Been Talkin' - Whitehorse

LCM #SongOfTheDay: Who’s Been Talkin’ - Whitehorse

We are very big fans of husband and wife duo Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland, better known collectively as Toronto based multi-instrumentalists Whitehorse. Our featured track today is the excellent ‘Who’s Been Talkin’’ taken from their forthcoming six-track EP ‘The Northern South Vol. 2’, out on January 18th 2019 via Six Shooter Records.

Ethereal folk, space cowboy twang, psychedelic spaghetti western, Intergalactic blues grooves and pop noir. Since their debut in 2011, Whitehorse has evolved from magnetic folk duo to full-blown rock band. In truth, Whitehorse is never fully either one or the other, but an ever-evolving creative partnership that challenges both artists to explore new instrumental and lyrical terrain with each project. Together, Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland’s searing Americana noir sensibility is distinguished by guitar wizardry (and instantly recognizable tone) and magnetic harmonies.

Now, the JUNO Award winning duo Whitehorse return to the early days of electric blues with The Northern South Vol. 2, the second instalment of a project that melds the grooves and melodies of the original selections with the band’s steamy, swampy, squalling approach. ‘The Northern South Vol. 2’, coming January 2019 deals 1950s blues bops, hellfire gospels and sexed-up cuts from Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed and more. The first single, “Who’s Been Talkin’” channels the cross-continent blues super sessions with spiny Wurlitzer, serpentine White Falcon and, above all, a deep reverence for Howlin’ Wolf and his longtime guitar player Hubert Sumlin.
