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.

Episode 199: Fall Faves, Salute To Mark Volman
September 19, 2025
Here’s another Tales Vinyl Tells for ya. High, hello and welcome back to more of that great album rock of the 60s & 70s along with (sometimes) tunes on either sides of those decades. It’s almost fall here in middle Tennessee and Nashville. Summer is winding down and it’s been one hot mothuh, and not in a good way. The dogwoods have put out their little green pods which have grown into bigger red pods, and the season will change soon. It’s on the way. Today’s hour includes some songs about fall and there’s also my statement about the mess in these United States with a lying evil fascist in our White House. They bricked over the Rose Garden and there’s so much gaudy fake gold nugget accents in the Oval they should offer barf bags at the door. No more spray paint, ok?? And he wants a Nobel Prize and wants to name the Beloved Kennedy Center after himself or her. What a flabby gas bag. I can’t stand this guy, the Russian asset, ruining not running the US. He’s the Master of Disaster, the dark lord (thinks he’s God, more like the antiChrist). The first set goes out to Capt Bonespurs. That’s my rant for today. Mark Volman of the Turtles has entered the room next door, we remember him. and I’ve got a new one from Neil Young in this first set. You’ll like this one! Now Let’s play some great Tales that Vinyls Tell. I’m Brian Hallgren. Let’s spin some!
