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.

Hi again and welcome to another Tales Vinyl Tells. This is an ear-pleasing excursion into the great music from the albums of the 60s & 70s. Sometimes outside those decades too. and we’re celebrating life more these days with some tunes that might describe my ways …or not…maybe they do yours too. Each of these songs from my Celebration of Life playlist have a connection with me. It’s a playlist for my celebration of life service, whenever that times comes and it is inevitable. And sure, there are some that are just great tunes, like Affinity’s version of All Along the Watchtower with the really nice keyboard action from Lynton Naiff. Even Green Day to-day. This is episode 195, I’m Brian Hallgren and in this hour, we’ll share “some” of the Tales Vinyl Tells, celebrating life every day. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad I’m here.
