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!

Working on new episodes now in the southern studio where this great music of the 60s & 70s got into my soul as a youngster.

Episode 126: Letting It All Hang Out! January 19, 2024 We've had snow since Sunday (?). 7" at first and with single digit temps it aint melted yet. That gave me time to put one together and get it to you. Do you remember “Let it (all hang) out” by The Hombres? I dug it up and play it today. The Memphis band released that in 1967 (how old were you?) and the song has been redone by David Lee Roth and John Mellencamp among others. It was let out in the beginning of the psychedelic era.

Episode 125: The Welch Era With The Mac, The Who Do Mose And More January 12, 2024 Welcome back. I found out I can’t out-Spotify Spotify. There weren’t many downloads there anyway. It is pretty cool to see who is and where they are. I’m revisiting some of the early shows at RadioFreeNashville.org. This is another replay that maybe you missed it when it first aired. I enjoy hearing them again. Here’s Badfinger off their 2nd LP, Mose Allison, Ohio, a little Peace and Quiet (they are not!) and

Episode 124: Another Replay For Holiday Break, From April '22 January 7, 2024 As we take a break to be with family and friends to rest and recharge, this replay has some cool notes to hit. There’s Shuggie’s love letter, a song that many call the first psychedelic rock tune by The Byrd’s, Luc-Ponty’s violin, of course a Doobie, soundalike The Searchers and other Fascinating Things (a bit of now and then). I have an idea for a future show. A lot of people play or at least try to play an

Episode 123: Jeff Beck Salute December 28, 2023 Yardbirds’ Shapes of Things was described by some as the “first popular psychedelic rock song” ~ wikipedia. We play a lot of Beck on this one, from The Group, with Stevie Wonder and one from The Asylum Choir, whose members were Leon Russell and Marc Benno, and one cool number from Benno. Of course, there’s more on today’s replay. It’s almost New Years as I log this episode and want to wish you and me a better year than ever before. Possible

Episode 120: How Does An Artist Come Up With The Hook That Just Grabs You? December 8, 2023 Well, they did it again. Spot-to-fy pulled episode 119. Their story was “this podcast service is not intended to be a music distribution tool.” I’ve been saying all along, for 4 years now, that Tales Vinyl Tells is only for the promotion of great music and the artists that make that music and lyrics. I guess if Spot-to-fy has to pay a tenth of a cent per play, then so be it. They want me to get hooked

Is it possible to outsmart the podcast app? I had a recent podcast removed from Spot-to-fy I’d say because a few bands’ names were in the episode title. It was the Little Feat and Pink Floyd PCOC a few weeks ago. I’ll let you know the results. Like that app is so generous paying the artists. Screw them. Hope this episode flips your switch.

We are probably all, in my opinion anyway, a friend, maybe even a hero to someone but we can’t all be famous. And that may well be a good thing. In the meanwhile, we can keep the fires burning, the love-light burning and the circle turning. Maybe even keep the desires yearning. Here are some memory-joggers, just some of the great music we had and heard on LP from the 60s and 70s. If you want to support this podcast, my story is at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport.

Recently on Tales Vinyl Tells I counted down most of the 29 albums of all time that sold more than 15 million units. An LP counted as one, a single as a half sale. This time it’s a focus on 2 by Pink Floyd that were big sellers not to mention they were captivating of the ears and brains. These are culturally significant in my opinion. And there’s more of the great album cuts from the 60s and 70s. You can hear Tales Vinyl Tells as it happens on RadioFreeNashville.org and on radio on 103.7

I stand corrected about Jimmy Buffett’s success, not to mention his impact on our culture. I mentioned on the radio show and podcast the numbers of recordings. Here are the facts: 32 studio albums, 11 compilation albums, 14 live LPs, one soundtrack LP and 67 singles! Jimmy was a very busy guy. He brought out the “party” in people. He also got melancholic. Like He Went to Paris. He wrote after meeting a musician, a one-armed veteran of the Spanish Civil War. It was a song he rarely played live and

First off, sad news this morning about Jimmy Buffett’s passing. The 2020 Life on the Flip Side LP is his 28th release. A billionaire many times over, he brought to life the adventures of a pirate, a sailor, a surfer and a guy who seems to love the life of excitement and relaxation. I’ve been listening to Flip Side this morning and will listen to more of his great happy music as time keeps on passing. This podcast replays the early June radio show and has Traffic, Mamas and Papas and a few
