  • Episode 109: Farewell To Jimmy Buffett, Artists In ”Before” Groups And More, Of Course.
    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 found out that Bob Dylan liked the song, and it was later recorded by Waylon Jennings and Doug Supernaw. Thank you, Jimmy and if you don’t mind, save us a place in the next room.
    There’s also a new journey we’re on to hear where some successful artists were before they gained their star. Tom Petty’s Mudcrutch, Ed King’s Strawberry Alarm Clock and Skynyrd and so on. This time it’s Gerry Rafferty, with 3 different groups. Good stuff. Fairly historical. Hope you like. Sure, there’s a boatload of great LP cuts from the 60s and 70s.

    The Post Covid Outdoor Concert Series continues today with the complete Day 4 performances from Johnny Winter And, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the great Fleetwood Mac!

  • Episode 106: From Early Summer, One From Pre-Band, New Zealand Pacific Reggae + More
    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 from Tina Turner, who had then recently gone “into the next room.”~Henry Diltz. Enjoy your day, every day. Your/my expiration date is closer with each day.

    Running an extra 33 minutes longer than the radio version, this is some of the really good stuff from the 60s and 70s. It’s Day #3 of the New Days Festival and the show’s about to begin, and this gives me a chance to say thank you to all who have become givers, sustainers and supporters of this podcast.

  • Episode 103: The Tenth Live Show On RadioFreeNashville
    I’m a bit sad as I prepare this one that just replayed last week on Tales Vinyl Tells. It does have some great music with an opening message that is so appropriate for how I feel doing these shows and turning them into podcasts. That song is Lovely to See You Again by the Moody Blues. And even though I can’t really see you on the radio or on the podcast, I feel you there. I can see that you are downloading the podcasts and you send emails telling me where in the world you are. I thank you for that.
    What I’m really sad about is that we’ve suffered some serious losses to the grim reaper lately. Losing David Crosby was a lot to handle. Now we’ve recently lost Randy Meisner, Sinead O’Connor and this week it was notification of Robbie Robertson’s death. I’m saluting them soon with music. For now, we can grieve, we can mourn. My lady and I sat and played Scrabble last night and listened to some of the great music that The Band recorded. Just so entertaining! And if you want to see what Robertson did in his life, you should read his obit. Busy guy. Not liked by all his bandmates but someone has to be in charge, and it was him. Enough with the sadness. Today’s mix runs from Garfunkel and his then-bud, Rotary Connection, The Morrison boys together again, Ziggy and more.
    Next week at 5 Central time on RadioFreeNashville.org, it’ll be Day 3 of the Peacock with Grand Funk RR, Loggins and Messina and The Rolling Stones! Great music from the 60s and 70s!! Replays can be heard and downloaded on StudioMillsWellness.com and most anywhere you get your podcasts.
    If you’d like to financially support this podcast, Tales Vinyl Tells, go to Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thanks to those who already took the plunge and I hope you’ll consider the support.

  • Episode 102: Spanning 57 Years Of Great Music From Judy Collins To Tedeschi Trucks
    Have you noticed how the mind works sometimes? Sure, it works all the time but sometimes it amazes me how we couldn’t have planned something to happen the way it actually happened. I wanted to start this one with Monkey Man from the Stones. It such a cool tune. So, I did. John Cougar attributed I Need A Lover to the Stones’ Happy. I didn’t know that until those two were put together and I was researching and writing notes. And Mick Jagger turned 80 recently. Maybe I’m the only one who appreciates the coincidences but there they are. Today you’ll hear rock opera tunes from Tommy and David Byrne on Broadway. Great number from him and company.
    On my mind: Tales Vinyl Tells is on RadioFreeNashville.org at 103.7 & 107.1 FM Wednesdays at 5PM Central time. Replays and podcasts of the radio show and complete archives of the podcast are on StudioMillsWellness and most podcast apps.
    The Post Covid Outdoor Concert series is back! Day 3 of the Peacock is coming soon with Grand Funk Railroad, Loggins and Messina and The Rolling Stones. Days 1 & 2 are on the podcast.
    Last but not least, I hope you really get what we’re doing on Tales Vinyl Tells. It’s preservation and exposure of what I feel is the best music of the 20th century. The vinyls, many of them anyway, have endured and get play on my show. Digital copies are lacking character. In hopes to continue my mission above, I humbly ask for your financial support. My ask is here. When you read it, you’ll understand why this is so important to me. Thank you for all support already offered and thank you for listening to TVT.

  • Episode 101: Post Covid Outdoor Concert Series Continues Day 2! It’s Steve Day!
    It’s a great day for a good outdoor concert and now that Covid has been taken off the pandemic list, we’re getting together for Steve Day. It features The Steve Miller band, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, and the master of TONTO (cool story), Stevie Wonder. Imagine the coolest, funnest outdoor concert. See if you can recreate it in your mind. It looks like at least 5 days of PCOC will happen, so here’s my invite to you to come on in the gates. I’m now being told there are no gates. It’s a free concert!

About Tales Vinyl Tells-”stories record albums convey”

From the publisher's feed

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.
