Latest Episodes:

079 Country Joe & the Fish - Electric Music for the Mind and Body Nov 05, 2018

Show notes

Electric Music for the Mind and Body expand upon the band’s “new psychedelic medium”, embracing all facets of the members’ influences and melding them into various forms and we meld our opinion into a unifying rejection of this album.

078 The Beatles - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Nov 01, 2018

Show notes

Some would call it the crowning achievement of the Beatles works and their entire career and some would call it the first misstep into a the silly and misguided side of the Beatles.

077 Nico - Chelsea Girl Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

Nico’s Chelsea Girl is a delicate atmosphere and emotionally stirring album. Full of great players and classic songs. Haunting…

076 Astrud Gilberto - Beach Samba Oct 25, 2018

Show notes

Again we have another Samba / Bossa Nova Gilberto Album? Some of us find the 60’s pop great and some of us wish the Gilberto’s would just go away.

075 Nina Simone - Wild Is the Wind Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

Nina Simone was one of the most gifted vocalists of any generation. She was a singer, pianist, and songwriter who bent genres to her will rather than allowing herself to be confined by their boundaries. We can’t praise this album enough!

074 The Yardbirds - Roger the Engineer Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

Perhaps know most for starting the careers of three of rock’s most famous guitarists, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, The Yardbirds show us a transitional time with the young up and coming Beck’s fuzzed out guitar.

073 John Mayall With Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers Oct 15, 2018

Show notes

Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton was Eric Clapton’s first fully realized album as a blues guitarist and the group seems to absolutely despise it. We talk a lot about what the group calls “Dad Blues”.

072 13th Floor Elevators - The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators Oct 11, 2018

Show notes

A special aspect of The Elevators’ sound came from Tommy Hall’s innovative electric jug. The jug, a crock-jug with a microphone held up to it while it was being blown, sounded somewhat like a cross between a minimoog and cuica drum. Let’s be honest some of us hate the jug.

071 Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, & Thyme Oct 08, 2018

Show notes

The duo spent almost three months in the studio and this is the first time they would have creative control. The result is a well crafted album with some classic songs ; but we don’t think ever song is a classic on this one.

070 The Rolling Stones - Aftermath Oct 04, 2018

Show notes

Considered the artistic breakthrough album for the Rolling Stones, it was the first to consist entirely of original Mick Jagger–Keith Richards compositions. Some could say that this is were the Stones start their ascension into rock and roll legends.
