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!

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.

Episode 168: Last Month Of 2024 And The Rock Keeps Rollin'
December 3, 2024
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.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.

Episode 166:New Version Of An Old One
November 20, 2024
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

Episode 165: Survived Another Election
November 14, 2024
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!Show your love for the great album rock of the 60s and 70s by becoming a monthly contributor to Tales Vinyl Tells. Learn more at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. 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.You can stream Tales Vinyl Tells Wednesdays at five central time on Radiofreenashville.org.
