Black Smoke Rising
Greta Van Fleet's debut single (April 2017) and the title track of the Black Smoke Rising EP, later on From the Fires -- cut at Rustbelt Studios with Al Sutton and Marlon Young. Jake Kiszka's tone is his 1961 Gibson SG 'The Beloved' through a Rangemaster-style germanium treble booster into a cranked Marshall Plexi and 4x12, with an EHX Holy Grail for space. Slower and heavier than 'Highway Tune' (~100 BPM), with a doubled, octave-tinged verse texture. Standard E.
