THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

British Invasion myth-busting alert! The Hootenanny’s new set finally shines a spotlight on songwriter Ron Ryan—the secret pen behind Dave Clark Five smashes like “Because.” Cut live-to-tape under Joe Montague’s analog wizardry, these swaggering, Hammond-laced takes resurrect Ryan’s untapped catalogue while six newly unearthed 1964 acetates by Ryan’s own band, The Walkers, add era-authentic grit. Mod jackets optional, but history gets rewritten in 75 riffs flat. Grab the real author’s cut while it lasts.
