This week's episode is going to be all about the history behind last week's artist. in this Episode I talk about various things such as what was the group's original name, what did they sound like before they developed their own signature sound, how the developed their own signature folk sound and how they got signed to Columbia Records and what exactly happened that caused them to become successful and what were the things going on in their lives that caused them to break up by the end of the 60's and the beginning of the 70's. I also talk about the story behind last week's song and what inspired him to write it plus the behind the scenes information on the recording session for the song. here's a link to last week's and this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it again:
