In our never-ending quest for great music, we have settled in on March of 1967 for an extended number of shows.
Usually, we have trouble finding enough good music from any given season, so March 1967 is surely special, especially when speaking about popular music.
We have already dedicated a program to eleven singles that debuted on the top 40 in March of 1967. Imagine that - eleven classic songs debuted in the same month. What are the chances of that happening now? Judging from the dearth of talent on today’s pop charts, it is mathematically impossible. In the new millennium, we average about two great top 40 singles in a year, by my own estimate.
This show however focuses on four albums that debuted that same month in 1967. Each of these four albums is a classic in its own right. Some of them have survived the forty year interim without a blemish (“Buffalo Springfield”), while others have suffered a bit from age and the changing times (“Surrealistic Pillow”). Others have fell into obscurity and then bounced back out (Loretta Lynn”) while another still lingers in obscurity (“The Left Banke”). We draw today’s selections from each of these four albums. Enjoy the program!
