A musical program about Dogs, Cows, Animals and Doves, in general. All here. Have you ever seen the funny image of a cat on a leash? Here. Maybe the southern sun is cooking my brain.

Hey and Hello! Welcome in for more of those Tales Vinyl Tells. This is our weekly immersion into some great music that appeared on vinyls, especially during the 60s and 70s. A lot of those albums are still playable today and are played and appreciated all over the world. With a good cleaning of the disc surface and a whole bunch of shipping tape around the jacket and they’re sounding just as good as the day the shrink wrap was removed. You did remove the shrink wrap, didn’t you?
Ok, today we’re in our southern studio and we’re saluting two pretty well-heard, maybe not so well known, guys who have joined Petty, Harrison, Lennon, Crosby, Mayall and others who have entered the room next door. We’ve got Mike Pinera and Garth Hudson and their fine tunes today and many others. Glad you’re listening! I’m Brian Hallgren and these are the Tales Vinyl Tells.

Here we go with another Tales Vinyl Tells! It’s our plunge into some of that great album rock especially from the 60s and 70s. The vinyl albums are classic, they’re vintage, and today the upsurge in album sales is really wonderful to see and read about. A lot of artists today are putting out LPs and record pressing has become an art. Welcome along with me. These are the Tales Vinyl Tells. We’re going to play a cut from a newer collection from David Gilmour and his daughter Romany. We’re also going to salute Leland Sklar. He’s still alive and this is a living tribute to him. He played bass on so many big albums of the 60s. And he hung around with some really outanding studio musicians like himself. And I’m gonna turn you onto a documentary if you haven’t seen it yet. More on The Immediate Family here on tales Vinyl Tells. First up is Pete Townshend.

The Post Covid Outdoor Concert series was put together at a time in 2021 and 2022 when the badly mismanaged virus was eating people alive. We didn’t have a clue as to when or how it would end and whether I’d survive if I got it or my love or my children or grand child or family got it and would it kill them. I thought it was imperative that we needed some music that might steer us to a place of comfort and peace. Yeh! Let’s get stoned and put on some tunes! I’m not so much a toker these days but the music can still carry me away. Does it you? What Tales are your Vinyls Telling you? Well then, replaying and reworking some of the Peacocks is intended to carry you away to a live concert, peaceful, fun, beautiful, far out, cool, man. Let’s dig some of the great Johnny Winter with the McCoys and Ric Derringer, Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac today. This is the entire concert first created Sept. 8, 2021.

This is Day 3 of the Post Covid Outdoor Concert series. The New Days Festival features some of the great rock gigs of the 60s & 70s, some live on our imaginary stage and some off LPs. But it’s a great celebration of the live concert we attended back then. No, I’m not stuck in that time but I sure haven’t been to anything greater than an outdoor concert with other peaceful music-loving people who don’t talk through the whole show. Dual stages, a festival atmosphere and lots of good vibes. It’s another killer show today with Mark Farner and Grand Funk Railroad, Loggins and Messina and The Rolling Stones.

There are many holidays in the month of December and you might hear of some that you didn’t know about on today’s Tales Vinyl Tells.

This is some of the music that surrounded so many of us boomers during the 60s & 70s. We worked by it, played by it, soared with it, boogied to it and attached some memories to it that may well last a lifetime. For some of us, this music was something we were listening to full time. There’s some Disraeli Gears music first off, Robin Trower, The supergroup The Best, ARS and many more.

It’s Thanksgiving morning here. Rainy, cool and I’m getting ready to eat then go to a movie. These tunes this hour are just some of the Tales that the vinyls of the 60s & 70s tell.

I hope you’re well and ready for some music from a lot of West Coast bands today. You know, we dig into these great albums of the 60s and 70s and some of you younger listeners may not have been on the Earth at that time. You know, just a little gleam in your daddy’s eyes? So hello to you younger listeners today . A lot of us were brought up listening to this music that we’re gonna hear today and some of us are getting to hear it another time. If it’s new to you,just dig it! I like to play many album cuts of mostly familiar songs but I do like to throw in some new songs or songs that we really don’t hear that much back in the day. Oh! I never thought I’d use that phrase “back in the day“but there it is. We’re going to hear from Crosby Stills Nash and Young, a Monkee, yes they can be trained, Nashville’s Orleans and quite a number more.
As always, I want to thank all the supporters of this program who monthly contribute through Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. I bow to you, thank you and invite everyone to check out how you can show your love for this awesome music of the hippie generation, whether you were there or just get down with the albums of that time.
Remember that Tales Vinyl Tells can be streamed as it happens on RadioFreeNashville.org Wednesdays at 5 Pm Central time and all the episodes are listenable and downloadable on your favorite podcast app (I say probably), just don’t try Spotify. They say it doesn’t allow them to pay their millionth of a cent royalty to artists and I get that. So whatever they say, they remove it so you’ll just have to listen elsewhere. Like Podbean.com or PlayerFM or maybe even StudioMillsWellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells. Take your pick or pick your take. Rock on, take care, stay well and be nice. BH
We are back again with another expedition into that great album rock of the 60s & 70s here on Tales Vinyl Tells. This expedition has been going on for quite a while now, the podcast version since December 2019. The radio version premiered in the spring of 2022. I vaguely remember the evenings during this music’s time when we’d visit a friend in our apartment complex and we’d burn some while putting on some Carole King or James Taylor or Stones or better yet, Sgt Pepper’s. The smell of incense, a lot of times, could mask the weed aroma and I played the psychedelic Smell of Incense from the West Coast Pop Art Experiment Band along with Graham Nash, some jazzy numbers from Seals and Crofts and Victor Wooten, and the closer is a very rocky one from The Rascals that is really good. Hope you enjoy all that!

Thank you so much, especially you who already contribute monthly and I hope you feel really good supporting this effort to enjoy what I think is the best creative music of this generation.
The version that was heard on the live stream Wednesday evening at 5PM on RadioFreeNashville.org was an edited replay of TVT #20, which was diggable August of 2020. I realized while listening to it that I didn’t play anything by the supergroup Blind Faith so that’s one that’s coming soon. Hope you’ll enjoy this, the original #20…again. There’s Supersession music and Heart as well as the above. Here’s the full length episode.

The hourglass is filling with sand. I’ve been working on this one over the past couple weeks and got the word that Phil Lesh passed, I knew that I needed to finish up and get the salutes ready. These four had unique lives and affected millions around the world, like many of the artists from the 60s & 70s did. This hour is a major tease. Do you have a story or memory of any of these artists that you might want to share? A Dead concert maybe? Or some piece of trivia? My email is TalesVinylTells@gmail.com. In case you’ve let it slip your mind, you can hear the initial radio show Wednesdays at 5 PM central time on RadioFreeNashville.org or on an actual radio at 103.7 in Nashville. The stream is more dependable and worldwide.

This episode reflects back on the beginning, episode 1, that premiered in the winter of 2019. 38 Episodes later, I realize how many new beginnings we can have in a lifetime. Repeats, reruns, whatever you want to call it, we get a chance to do things differently, over and over again. Lotta woo woo there, I know. I’m preparing for a radio gig for Tales Vinyl Tales (hoping for the best) and I find no better place to get ideas than the beginning, the past. With some additions and subtractions, this episode has Moody Blues, Bonnie Raitt, Spirit and more. I feel it’s a good ‘un.

This originally was Episode 27, released January 20, 2021, Inauguration Day. It’s the final leg of the World Tour that started in 2020. When I listened back to the archived show, it sounded like it could be better, so I fixed it. Hope you like.

We are probably all, in my opinion anyway, a friend, maybe even a hero to someone but we can’t all be famous. And that may well be a good thing. In the meanwhile, we can keep the fires burning, the love-light burning and the circle turning. Maybe even keep the desires yearning.
Here are some memory-joggers, just some of the great music we had and heard on LP from the 60s and 70s.
“ I believe ‘21’s gonna be a good year”. That’s where we started this episode as we continued our World Tour 2020 and led into 2021. Today we recreate this program as we travel to Asia with Asia and Lorde, then to the land down under with one of Australia’s national anthems and Little River Band, not to mention an old one about a kangaroo, which was on episode 26 but didn’t have time for it here. All our podcasts are recorded and uploaded in stereo, so if you can, listen on stereo equipment. You’ll get some clicks and pops, but full effect. Enjoy! And have a great safe year.
You can financially support this podcast and be greatly appreciated by going to Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport and pledge as little as $5 a month, which will help pay the bills and keep the lights on.
