Q: WHAT AMPS AND EFFECTS ARE YOU USING THESE DAYS? — JASON ALLWOOD
Right now I play through two Matchless Clubman 35 brains and speaker cabinets and I also use a Fender Vibro-King. I use the Matchless for the times I use vibrato so that I can have it in stereo, and I use the Vibro-King on its own for certain tunes. Other than that it’s a vibrato unit my guitar tech made for me that he got from the schematic of the original Magnatone so I could have that mono vibrato. A little bit of reverb and that’s it.
Q: Why did you call your latest album That’s What I Heard? — K. Fuller
Because it’s got a little bit of everything. We did a bunch of covers by some of my favorite artists, like Curtis Mayfield and Bobby “Blue” Bland. There’s also a funky groove by Don Gardner (“My Baby Likes to Boogaloo”) along with a Sensational Nightingales song, “Burying Ground,” which is a gospel tune. Then there’s some tunes we wrote as well.
Q: The new album has a Sam Cooke vibe to it. Was that by design? — Andrew Narvaez
The whole idea came about because [producer] Steve Jordan wanted to take us into Capitol Studios [in Hollywood]. It was the first time for us there as a band and it was amazing. Just being in that studio with the great engineers, microphones and the atmosphere that place exudes was exciting. Seeing the old photos on the wall and knowing all the great artists who performed there. The reverb system that Les Paul built is still in existence there — as well as all of the charm.

New Jersey derives much of its water from New York’s Catskill Mountains. Low in calcium and magnesium, it’s a naturally soft water that’s ideally suited for bread flour. And, of course, that means it’s also a crucial component in the making of New Jersey pizza, which everybody knows is the best in the United States. (Oh, you wanna argue about it? How about this?
