The ’60s and ’70s album rock moved the nation during the early rock n roll times, the British Invasion, Viet Nam, The Cold War, The Iron Curtain. DC5, Buddy Holly, Beatles, Cream, Zeppelin, Janis, songwriters like Elton and Bernie, John and Paul, Simon and Garfunkel....the list goes on. It rocked through the life and times of the world and it made us feel and helped us numb out. Fifty years later, the albums remain, a little scratched, some stained or even broken, but the music lives on. I try to present a brief history, a wayback machine if you will, into the artists, writers, lyrics and nostalgia of those wonderful days of free love, exploring the mind and smelling, eating, seeing, tasting and touching, indelibly burning memories for future enjoyment. It’s about the music and the era of album oriented rock. These are some of the Tales Vinyl Tells.
