Tales Vinyl Tells-”stories record albums convey”

Episode 172: PCOC Day 3! Grand Funk RR, Loggins & Messina, Rolling Stones
November 2, 2026
Originally released as Episode 35 on June 8, 2021, this is an edited shorter version for radio play. It’s 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. Its another killer show today with Mark Farner and Grand Funk Railroad, Loggins and Messina and The Rolling Stones.

Episode 99: The Post Covid Outdoor Concert Series Is Here!! Day 1: Frampton, Humble Pie, Doobies, Beatles!
October 11, 2026
A lot of you (including me) have been getting back to what was a normal lifestyle before Covid was mismanaged around the world and especially here in the US. Our fearless “leader” tried treating with unrecommended and untested on human beings treatments. Eff science, right? It’s estimated that there were 6,950,655 deaths from Covid worldwide as of July 12, 2023, according to https://covid19.who.int. So I was glad to hear that even though some are still getting sick with it, it’s considered gone, done. I thought that 2 years ago, too. Maybe it’s real now. So the party is on!!
My brother suggested to me to put some concerts together to celebrate the finality of C-19 and here it is, Frampton and Humble Pie, The Doobies, and the Beatles in our first live concert of 2023. Turn it up and have fun!

Episode 76: From Jan 7, 2023: Christine McVie Salute
September 28, 2026
Looks like we made it to a new year. I was beginning to wonder. Last year had some good, some sad but the best thing is that is ended. I had a Covid Christmas, lost a couple really good people, like my 30 year old niece, my 62 year old friend, had a melanoma on my head and it was just a weird year. I did though get my chance to bring Tales Vinyl Tells to RadioFreeNashville and the world. Now a chance to regain momentum.
Here we have a salute to Christine McVie and her time in public performance. She had a distinctive voice, you could probably tell the songs she penned and she brought life to the rock world. She is missed. One tune she did in her time with Chicken Shack in 1968 is here and I think you’ll recognize it. All in all, here’s some great music to kick the year off with.
My goal is to explore the vinyl LPs of the 60s & 70s, with some exceptions, and provide some backstories and liner notes of some of the best album rock of the ages.Since December 2019, there now over 200 hour-long episodes to enjoy with minimal repeats. Oh sure, there are some and that's because those are some great ones.Thanks for listening today. My email is talesvinyltells@gmail.com.

Episode 65 Great Guitarists You Don't Hear Much & #6 Best-Selling LP
Progressive rock radio stations of the 60s, especially, exposed many great and long-lasting tunes and LPs that would endure more than a half century. I try to play as many as come from my personal collection and memory, and there are many that seem to fly under the radar because they don’t have commercial appeal but a curious music lover wants to hear the wide range of acoustic players and singers you just don’t hear these days. This episode I wanted to highlight some of those, like: Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Tommy Emmanuel and you’ll also hear Arlo, Graham Nash and quite a few more. Twelve spins today.

Episode 212 Sometimes We All Feel Like An Alien, Like We Don't Belong.
September 14, 2026
This was episode 64 from about this time in 2022. It took some editing to prepare it for radio re-broadcast on stations around the country. They allow about 58 minutes. Hope you enjoy this one!
We start today with one of the greatest guitarists of our time who had an early death by wheels, a multi-award winning female Canadian artist who sold over 100 million albums that we haven’t played but once before here, Phoenix and more. As fall comes to us, I’m so glad. Maybe the heat will now only come from the smoking’ LP cuts from the 60s and 70s I play. Of course, if you need heat in your house by all means turn it on.
You can listen live at 5 central time around Nashville at 103.7 and 107.1 FM, you can tell Alexa, "Alexa, play radio free Nashville" after teaching her the radio free Nashville online skill, and you can stream it live at RadioFreeNashville.org. You can hear the replays of all the Tales Vinyl Tells podcasts at StudioMillsWellness.com when you click on the Tales Vinyl Tells podcast tab. You can also hear the replays on Apple podcasts and at Podbean. Wearing headphones when you listen enhances your musical journey. I wear them all the time in the studio when I'm on the air.

Episode 63: From 4 Years Ago. Sept 18, 2022. Chris Hillman, Journey, Zeppelin, Jesse Colin Young(Bloods)
September 6, 2026
The ‘60s and ‘70s brought some happy/sad/high/low/up/down/sweet/sour/yin/yang things. We were evolving as a country, coming out of post-WWII and Korean War times and heading into wars, the age of Aquarius and of the computer. For me, the music drove me. The Summer of Love in San Francisco and The Summer of Soul in NYC changed everything in our culture. The music of that time is what I try to capture in this fast-moving hour of album-oriented-rock (AOR). It started with Robert Johnson and Jimmie Rodgers. Listen in, listen anytime to Tales Vinyl Tells. All 210 episodes are on Studio Mills Wellness.com and are downloadable as are the episodes on Apple Podcasts and Podbean.com, where I post them first.

Number 9, number 9. Yes, it’s our ninth episode of Tales Vinyl Tells, from 2020, Covid time and an election year. I’m Brian and I’ll be sharing some more LP cuts from the 60s & 70s today and will grab a few from elsewhere, so buckle up . Today we have Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Joni Mitchell, Jim Morrison and The Doors, Bob Dylan and many more songs that you might remember or might not. My album collection’s history was told in previous episode. You might want to listen to all of the previous podcasts if you want the truth. Thanks to my longtime friend, David D, these 50+ year old LPs have been saved. Some are pristine, some are scratchy, but all are signs of those times. Enjoy as we hear today’s Tales Vinyl Tells.
