Tales Vinyl Tells-”stories record albums convey”
Tales Vinyl Tells is my podcast that evolved into my radio show that airs weekly on RadioFreeNashville. I had quite a few LPs that I collected in the late 60s and 70s and I always knew the magic of the albums of that era of album-oriented rock brought back memories of times, people, smells, tastes and feelings. I hope it does for you too. Back-stories and album liner notes tie the tunes together. I’m your host Brian Hallgren and you should hear the Tales Vinyl Tells!

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.

Episode 173: PCOC Day 4 With Johnny Winter And, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers and Fleetwood Mac!
January 7, 2025
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 some of the music that surrounded so many of us boomers during the 60s & 70s.

There’s some Disraeli Gears music first off, Robin Trower, The supergroup The Best, ARS and many more.You know, 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.
