James Hunter at the El Rey

There is vintage soul, and there’s what the singer-songwriter James Hunter is up to. His voice evokes the ‘60s greats, but his sound traverses a vast swath of Van Morrison acoustic mysticism, mod-rock and tender ballads. He records in all-analog, and the rigor shows in his live performances. The El Rey, 5515 Wilshire Blvd., L.A. 8 p.m. Thu. $22. theelrey.com.
