Tales Vinyl Tells-”stories record albums convey”

This is Episode 188: Come Along With Me And Let's Dig Some LPs!

It's another Tales Vinyl Tells! You've heard a lot of these before and they are so much fun to hear again! This is Episode 188: Come Along With Me And Let's Dig Some LPs!April 22, 2025We loved sitting around after work in the late 60s and early 70s and checking out the new LPs that were flooding the market and heard on great radio stations like Mother-WMUM, KSAN, WSHE. The album cuts ranged from King Crimson and Captain Beefheart, a new Beatles, and we’d track from front to back. So many great cuts that just didn’t find room on the air. Here on Tales Vinyl Tells, I remind you how great the album cuts were and still are. Moody Blues were bringing the eerie sound of a mellotron, Hendrix’ candle was burning brightly, and Seals and Crofts were turning people on to the love in their music and their faith in Bahá’í. Man, we’ve got all that here with each episode. Donald Fagen and his music is here too, today. Hope you enjoy!I want to say thank you to all the financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells.

TALES VINYL TELLS PODCAST Episode 186: It Was A New Year, 2023! Salute To Christine McVie And More

TALES VINYL TELLS PODCAST Episode 186: It Was A New Year, 2023! Salute To Christine McVie And MoreApril 8, 2025Looks 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.I want to say thank you to all the financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells.

Episode 185: Jerry Lee W/E Street Band, Leeds Music, Blue Jays, Fogelberg
March 31, 2025
Going back to the first airing of episode 30 on RadioFreeNashville.org and November 2022, we’ll play Jerry Lee Lewis and Springsteen’s Band at the opening of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, which, looking at recent inductees, should be remarqueed Hall of Music (Pop). Live at Leeds was regarded by some as one of the, if not THE best recorded live albums, along with The Allmans at Fillmore East. There’s some shakin’ going on there too. The entire hour is filled with a lot of the great LP cuts that made the 60s & 70s music so important.I want to say thank you to all the financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells.

Episode 183: Remembering Marianne Faithfull, Jesse Colin Young And Roy Ayers, Jr. + More
March 25, 2025
Welcome back to this hour that we call Tales Vinyl Tells.  It’s your chance to hear some of the great album rock from the 60s and 70s mostly.  We’ve been doing these programs since late 2019 and have covered lots a ground.  You know and I know that we’ve just scratched the surface of recorded rock, so the new shows keep coming.  The reruns aren’t bad either.  They can be heard on your favorite podcast app.  Just search for Tales Vinyl Tells.
Today we’re going to say thanks and farewell to Marianne Faithfull, Jesse Colin Young of the Youngbloods and vibraphonist Roy Ayers Jr. The music under me is Roy Ayres with Herbie Mann at the 1969 Harlem summer of soul extravaganza with a song cowritten by Isaac Hayes. Those three have entered the room next door, as Henry Diltz coined the phrase. You also get some of the blues with Boz Scaggs and Duane Allman, together. So these are the stories that songwriters and artists want to convey to you. These are the Tales Vinyl Tells.

Today’s hour is a visit to the radio program of November 2022 on RadioFreeNashville.org and is a salute to the spirit of Nicolette Larson and her work as a successful solo artist and her work with The Doobies, Neil Young and many of the artists that Ted Templeman produced.I’m here for a short while longer near the Atlantic, and when I look way out on the horizon of that great ocean, first there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
I’ve had two roommates from long ago recently pass away and I hope you will let people know how you feel about them, unless you don’t like them and in that case, do what’s right.

February 25, 2025
This is Tales Vinyl Tells.  And it’s another hour of some of the best rock tunes from albums of the 60s and 70s with some delicacies tossed in, just because. I’m saying hello from south florida, in Sandy Beach actually.  Today, we’re going to salute a few great artists who were in their late 20s in the late 60s. They helped us understand more, sometimes less about life and the purpose of life and ……if you were there, you may know by now, if you weren’t there, don’t worry too much about it.  This is our music, unmatched and unduplicated. I highly recommend listening on headphones, this program is, after all, recorded in stereo. Enjoy Judy Blue Eyes, Dylan and more on today’s Tales Vinyl Tells.  I’m glad you’re here, and here we go for more of those Tales.
