The 59 Sound

It seems like I can’t get enough of The Gaslight Anthem since a friend recommended their album "The ’59 Sound."  I love listening to the title track, though once you absorb the lyrics it starts to tug on the ol’ heartstrings.

There’s a clue to the meaning of the phrase "59 sound" at 3:07 in the video, though it’s not something I ever would have picked up on without a previous search for the meaning of the lyric.
