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 hour is all about the music of the 60s & 70s, with occasional reaches north or south of those decades, but hopefully it’s all good. Thanks for tuning in. If you’re a boomer, you know what I’m playing here. If you’re not so familiar with the music of that time, stay with me. I’ll give you a teaser. Over the past few episodes I’ve been sharing some of the tunes I want played at a time in the future during my celebration of life. See if you can pick them out. Thing is, life is happening in a very large way right now and right here, so let’s get more of the celebration of life cuts spinning right now. Today, we’ll hear from John Sebastian and the Spoonful, Dr. John, Boston and more. Headphones are a good option, as always. I’ve got mine on. Enjoy these stories, they are the Tales Vinyl Tells.Today’s playlist is below.
