1964 was an incredible year for The Beatles. They started off on the Ed Sullivan Show, spent the summer as movie stars, and ended the year with "Beatles for Sale". And this episode in particular will focus on the songs on "A Hard Day's Night"... that includes Paul McCartney's first great ballad!
In honor of Halloween, what better creepy crawly song is there to play then this one? We talk about old Boris, and plenty of other mid-60s classics from this band.
This hard rock group that started out in the mid-70s was pure dynamite. Just as this famous track suggests!
This week's episode tells the story of one of the 80s biggest hits... and while its lyrics may be inaccurate, its harmonies are beautiful! So, props to this seasoned band of session musicians creating a great sound.
Today's episode tells the story of Johnny Bragg. He was a man who was imprisoned multiple times on false charges, but overcame it all through the power of music and friendship. It's truly an inspiring tale!
