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!

My pastime became putting musical podcasts together from my surviving albums. If you missed why the number was dwindling, go back to episode 1 and 2, please. Here we've got White Bird, a great tune from The Concert For George, Badfinger, and my interview with artist, musician and cool friend, Kaly Adams. Do you know about synesthesia?

This is the neonatal TVT, before Covid. Remember? Yeh, I don't either and that's the magic of saved copies of product, whether written, musical, drawn, whatever. This first podcast features The Moody Blues, Paul Hardcastle, J. Airplane, Blind Faith and quite a few more.

June 19th-Juneteenth- is our newest Federal Holiday. A celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation and the cultural artistry of BIPOC people. There’s not enough time for an hour program to include all the influence and entertainment the world has received from people of color. The list is endless. I have brought some of this era’s artists to the turntables as we salute those who have and still do fight the good fight for true freedom, justice and equality. A never-ending battle, more join the fight everyday. We’ll hear Hootie, Curtis, The Queen and more and hopefully we’ll share a Lovely Day because we’re Feelin’ Good and after all, it’s a Family Affair.

The playlist for the live radio show started out with a number of sad heartachy songs and I didn’t know why. As time went on, I got word of a young niece who had suddenly had a brain aneurysm and was gone. Leaving two young children, a 2-1/2 year old and a 5 week old, and her husband of 5 years. Life is short. Be kind.

My seventh live radio show at WRFN-LP includes a couple tunes from the great and very cool Mose Allison, one of those tunes coming from The Who, there’s some Fleetwood Mac, some Peace and Quiet. I believe I heard, years ago, from the old folks, “If you’re doing requests, I want some Peace and Quiet!” This is most likely not what they expected, but it’s a great one. There’s a cut from Fragile and we finish with I am the Mercury, from Jimmie Spheeris. This is what I feel the highest time of music in the 20th century. Headphones are a good way to listen and Sunday morning is a good time to listen but anytime and any way is what works. Thanks for listening! Tales Vinyl Tells live on RadioFreeNashville.org and 103.7/107.1 Wednesdays at 5 PM Central. See you on the radio!

All I want for you is Love, Peace and Happiness. And I remember hearing Season of the Witch on my Craig 8 track player, written and performed by Donovan and we also have Al Kooper with Stephen Stills. There’s a story about a firefall and we hear from them too. This and all the TVT episodes are downloadable and the live radio version of Tales Vinyl Tells can be heard most Wednesdays on RadioFreeNashville.org and at 103.7 and 107.1 FM at 5 Central.

One of my favorite artists and for a long time is Bonnie Raitt. The first one I heard from her is our leadoff tune this time. Laura Nyro penned many great songs and Alison Krauss sings one of them.
