PODCAST

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 21: It took some time to get this one ready for you and I hope you’ll find it worth the wait. I had a chat with my new friend, Bob Luckin, a while ago and he has some great suggestions of music to listen to and videos to watch that just might make you feel better but mostly, that might lift your soul. Featured tunes include Finlandia from Sibelius, a song that spanned 3 decades, a remake of a Lennon composition and more. I hope you like the path we took on this one. Mr. Luckin’s new book is

Episode 20: This is a monumental task to get these podcasts put together and up to my standards for listening and dancing pleasure. Haha. I'm finding that music can lift a weary soul and mine is weary from all the politicking and Covid crap. I wanted to play happy upbeat tunes so grabbed The Doobies with an invitation and played Pink Floyd from my Obsured by Clouds LP. The music from Steve Winwood is spotlighted today, there’s a song by Heart, a fave of mine from Marc Cohn, Walking in Memphis, and a

Episode 19: Hey, it’s #19! I had great fun when I was 19, when a lot of this music was fresh on vinyl and 8 track tape. The age of my teens, though, was ending and soon I was 20 and soon we’ll be on #20. Hope you enjoy my salute to the Great City by the Bay, San Francisco, which includes The Animals, Starship and more. Also, we hear Van Morrison, Joe Walsh and I share some Doobies.

Episode 18: Moving through the episodes at a turtle’s pace. We’ve got an interview this time with Mike Zeiher, who got the ball rolling at that great radio station, WMUM FM, that was on Lake Worth Beach, Florida in 1970. Hope you enjoy the journey back to that time and that music. Music this time is from Spirit, King Crimson, The Airplane at Woodstock and more. It’s better in stereo, that’s how it’s recorded. A little volume too, please. Still downloadable, free and no ads. Enjoy! And thanks for the

Episode 17: This is the love episode, suggested by Linda and approved by me. You’ll hear tunes about good love, lost love and I can think of a few that could make a 2nd love episode possible. Hear Arthur Lee and LOVE, Pure Prairie League, Chamber Brothers, Beatles and more. Listen loud, listen often. Replays are a treat too!

There are a couple more great selling albums and their creators played today. There’s some Hootie, Lowell George without Little Feat. Does that mean he has big feet? A rare one from Tim Buckley and an honor to the Holland LP. My copy has no outer jacket but is in a paper sleeve and is in very good shape, so it plays well. Catch the show live Wednesdays at 5 central time on 103.7 and 107.1 FM in Nashville and stream it live at RadioFreeNashville.org. You can say, “Alexa, play RadioFreeNashville”,

This is the playback from this past Wednesday on RadioFreeNashville. I continue revealing the 29 albums to date that have sold 15 million or more. There’s a great David Crosby story and song with his reunited son and it’s a great tune cowritten by Donald Fagen (Steely Dan). And it shows.

Thanks for listening! I am counting down the 29 albums that have sold 15 million or more as of July 27, 2022. This time we hear from Steve Miller and his band and Toto, featuring Michael Jackson. Okay, it’s Michael Jackson and a few Thriller cuts but Toto makes the music on this LP. You’ll hear Sir Douglas Quintet, Michael Martin Murphy and more.

127 LPs achieved diamond status, selling at least 10 million in albums and singles, but only 29 have sold more than 15 million and today we start to count them down, including lots of other great LP cuts from mostly the ‘60s and ‘70s. Today its The Boss and Zeppelin at #s 28 & 29. Also, I have John Baldry with Elton John and his band, Boz Scaggs Group’s guitarist, Les Dudek, Simon and Garfunkel reminiscing and the hour’s filled with music and info.

A 1968 Tull tune starts it off today with a farm set and we also hear about the Road Kill Bill that the Tennessee state legislature passed in 1999. A excerpt from an interview I did with my friend, Brant Miller, about that song from Episode 16 in 2020 leads into that song. Hot off the grill! There’s some Todd Rundgren, Southern Pacific and Leon Russell. The music from the 60s and 70s lives on here.

This one was live broadcast a few days ago and is themed “animals”. Not necessarily about pets, there’s a Bungle, a Raccoon, Boo but no Eric Burdon and the Animals. The first tune will hopefully get you primed for what’s to come in this hour of some of the best in the 60s and 70s and both sides of that era. If you want to catch Tales Vinyl Tells live on the radio in Nashville at 103.7 & 107.1, tune in at 5:00 Wednesdays. And you can live stream on the web at RadioFreeNashville.org.

2022/07/23

We have a nice chat with our friend, Brant Miller, a songwriter and guitarist who lives in Nashville and has a new CD out that’s getting some nice accolades around the country. I surprised Brant by asking him to play a popular song he co-wrote and we have it live, as it happened, on this interview. Also, we have music from Cream, Buddy Guy and two guys from the Moody Blues. I was definitely saved by the music a long time ago, maybe you too. Join me for interesting conversation and great music. #16

The heat is definitely on here in middle Tennessee and I’m hoping you can listen to this hour in a cool place, maybe just in your head, but it’d be nice if you could chill out with music from Marvin Gaye, first off, Jackie Lomax, Amboy Dukes (yep!), a nice long LP cut from Neil Young, even some Zappa. My email is TalesVinylTells@gmail.com and I’m open to your comments and suggestions.

2022/07/16

This episode contains some tunes that are a bit on the fringe of my collection. By that I mean that they weren’t mainstream album cuts you may have heard often on AOR FM stations, but they are good and solid and from bands whose members went on to or came from well known groups. Like Tony Kaye and Peter Banks on the last cut today from Flash. They both came from Yes. Kaye was supposedly just a guest with them, though its a bit murky. Also we hear Van Morrison, The Animals, The Brecker Brothers, a

Episode 15: I never imagined that we’d get this far in episodes but because i’ve gotten positive feedback, it’s continuing to inspire me. The LPs are numerous and the ideas continue to flow, so hope you’ll give a good listen to this new one, with music from The Band, John Prine, Flash (promised you this one many episodes ago), Dave Mason, Delaney and Bonnie, a great tune from an artist’s first solo LP (actually it was a triple LP set and had Derek and the Dominoes minus Duane on it) and a few

We talk about our work together at WMUM and WBUS, along with some memories of our colleague, Gil Colquitt, who pushed hard to get Bruce a gig. That’s as in Springsteen. Another summer fun time episode. Allmans, ELP, Sly and The Band. Enjoy the tales Brian and Bill tell.
