Our previous program featured a few standout 45 RPM singles from May of 1969.
The songs were great and did a great job of representing the era, but they barely tell half of the story. The 33-RPM album medium was fast becoming the most popular means of expression for artists, and fans took to it as well, appreciating the freedom it provided for artists to ‘stretch out’ and express themselves beyond a 3 minute single.
This show is the first of a two-part series covering album tracks from 40 years ago. Keep in mind, all of these albums are released during the same month, in May 1969.
Covered songs and albums include;
1) Bird on the Wire
2) Tonight Will Be Fine – Leonard Cohen/Songs from a Room
3) Beginnings
4) I’m a Man – Chicago Transit Authority/ Chicago Transit Authority
5) Lovely to See You
6) Never Comes the Day – The Moody Blues/On the Threshold of a Dream
7) Cinnamon Girl
9) Cowgirl in the Sand – Neil Young/Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
