What helps any group stand out is their inimitable sound. Sundae + Mr. Goessl have taken a love for a vast era of music and turned it into a righteous listen. There is a bit of nostalgia in the mix for everyone. Not merely a cop of the vintage sound. The duo methodically takes any era of music from Patsy Cline to Gershwin to Nancy Sinatra on down including a trip on the bad boy side of country with a Johnny Cash controversy on “Crescent City Blues” originally written by Gordon Jenkins in 1953. Cash struck a deal with Jenkins to stand down when his tune “Folsom Prison Blues,” in 1955 was proven to be problematic. The two struck a gentlemen’s deal for Jenkins silence. Classic gems with deep history and hipness line the corners of When You’re Smiling. The duo is keen on what their sound is; and their conviction is infectious on each of the fifteen well-chosen tunes. That's the short of it!
