Hey Ears Try This Out

Hey Ears Try This Out

I present music from 1965 (some digressions) to the current time including Rock, Progressive, Psychedelic, Folk, Hard Rock, Country Rock and anything else I feel like playing. All categories decided by me. It will include short descriptions between tracks addressing artist, song title, album, origin and year. I promise you will hear artists that you’ve NEVER heard before. Do you have to know/recognize the music to enjoy it? GOD, I hope not. I will challenge you, but with the best of intentions. Each show is about 1 hour in length (rare digressions). You can expect/hope for ~ 2 to 3 new shows/week. [Est. Oct. 2023]

Why would you listen to this? Why would you not? The set provides psychedelic tunes from mid-60's to present day. Who else does a show like this? No one or I'd like to meet them pronto.

This is more music to relax by. There are no sudden loud guitar solos, no drum solos and no angry voices.

This is another dig into the world of Baroque Pop. My definition is really by ear. I listen for a pop background that includes orchestral type instrumentation, such as strings and/or horns. Other examples would be instruments such as a harpsichord or Mellotron. The artists are 90% from the UK. I blame Chris Powell for making me focus. But I like it.

Who did who's song? Whodunit? Sometimes these second-hand versions are the reason we start appreciating certain songs that we previously dismissed. Covers come with their own share of creative intelligence as they require one’s own interpretation of the song or they perform the song as it is almost indistinguishable from the original.

This could have been called, "Progressive Pie UK, Norway & some Belgium Sprinkled In", but I didn't. Take a big bite of this Lemon Meringue pie now, please. For Brits, is this a 'pudding', too?

Who gets to call all of this folk? Uh, me. This is a lovely set of 'folk-like' tunes. I do look up to see how they are categorized but they lie too. At any rate, please listen to this great set of songs.

A word Brits seem to like is 'knackered'. It is a favorite to describe old, out-dated, beat-up things. These tunes are NOT knackered. I present songs from the British Empire for this set.

Maybe it's a little too obvious. It will be 'sun' or a derivative in song title and rarely just in a lyric. It's time to let that giant orb in the sky shine.

Swill, huh? Any meaning of the word is NOT pleasant. But, this is Swell Swill. These are treats leftover that are still tasteful. Take a big slug of the Swell Swill.

This is a great chance to hear Country Rock selections with a wide variety of artists. The Chicago connection between Wilco and Son Volt are represented here. I believe the song by Slobberbone, "Gimme Back My Dog", you'll either love or hate.

Please note the show image is Bach with an electric guitar strapped to his shoulder. Please remember this quote, "if it's not baroque, don't fix it". The real 'heyday' for Baroque Pop was 1966-1969. Artists were experimenting with orchestral instrumentation such as strings, horns, etc. The other instrumentation used for these recordings includes harpsichord, pump organ & Mellotron. These instruments were added to a basic rock/p...

I present a set of tunes performed/recorded as a 'Power Trio'. A common setup for a rock trio is guitar, bass and drums. However, there are variations. The most common one is keyboards, bass and drums. There is a wide variety of music styles. The one thing in common? There's only 3.
