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 85: Macon And Capricorn Records, Tommy Talton Salute And Who'll Stop The Rain JimJam
September 14, 2025
Today’s show is a replay from February 2024, bringing some of the great album rock of the 60s and 70s right to your ears and to your mind. I'm a child of the 60s and I just love this music. It brings me back to sense excitement. The smells, the tastes, the feelings of joy, bliss and of course, some sadness as some of our friends and acquaintances didn't survive those times. My intention this hour and every hour of Tales Vinyl Tells is to lift you up. This hour you'll hear a band with Yes members that absolutely kills it. There's Cold Blood with Lydia Pence and salutes to Tommy Talton of Cowboy and Gregg Allman Band, adding some ear-joy from Melanie Safka who also entered the room next door recently. Today’s playlist is below.
And thanks for listening today. My email is talesvinyltells@gmail.com. If you want to hear a Tales Vinyl Tells when it streams live on RadioFreeNashville.org, we do that at 5 PM central time Wednesdays. The program can also be played and downloaded anytime at podbean.com, Apple podcasts, iHeart podcasts, Player FM podcasts, Listen Notes podcasts and many other podcast places. And of course you can count on hearing the Tales on studiomillswellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells anytime.
