Singer-songwriter McKinley James and his longtime bandmate, his father Jason Smay who also plays for acts like JD McPherson and Los Straitjackets, spent a three-day weekend in the home studio they'd constructed inside their family barn, recording McKinley's latest effort, Working Class Blues. They tracked a series of live performances with analog gear and minimal microphones. McKinley brings his tour in support of the album to the Beachland Tavern tonight.
