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 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.

November 28, 2024
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.

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. And all of the episodes are free and downloadable on many podcast apps and of course at studiomillswellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells. Dig this hour!

Episode 164: Salute To Steve Winwood, Including Dave Mason, Manassas, Marc Cohn Etc
November 9, 2024
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.I could dig your support if you want to help with the costs of running a weekly radio show and podcast.

Episode 162: Saluting Kristofferson, Lesh, Sergio, John David
October 29, 2024
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.
If you’d like to help pay this program’s bills, I welcome your sustaining monthly support. $5, 10, 25 a month helps so much. The details are at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thank you!
All TVT episodes are available FREE to listen to and FREE to download on your favorite podcast app except Spotify (their loss) and at StudioMillsWellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells, our first host. Thank you, Linda!

Episode 163: The Adventure Began!
October 26, 2024
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.
If you’d like to support this program financially and help me continue to bring this great music to the airwaves and www, learn more at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thank you so much!
Listen to all episodes of Tales Vinyl Tells all the way back to December 2019 on your favorite podcast app and of course, our flagship, StudioMillsWellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells.
