The Hollies - possibly one of the most underrated bands of the 60s and 70s. Best known in America for ‘Long cool woman in a black dress’. Today I present their classic “He ain’t heavy , he’s my brother”.
This is one of those songs which I never really noticed until I started listening to the bassline. It’s not that difficult, but the composition is so good that it feels like you’re going on a bit of a journey when you play it ![]()
The bass of choice was the Hofner - it’s so good that only some compression was needed to bring the level up.
