    Chimes of Freedom

    An’ for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
    An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing”

    On this day in 1962, Robert Zimmerman officially changed his name to Bob Dylan

  14. GENE CLARK
    White Light
    2023 Spain Ltd. Edition reissue

    A phenomenal note-perfect songwriting masterpiece for a fine Saturday afternoon.

    It baffles my mind that this album was only a commercial success in the Netherlands when it came out in ‘71.

    Sure.
    NOW it’s recognized as the stroke of genius that it is, but how could have people missed it back then?

    More than anything else, White Light shows that Clark was the true heartbeat of The Byrds.
    The lyrics are poetry, the music absolutely sublime. Incredible countrified melodies. Just amazing on all fronts.

    Listen to his take on “Tears Of Rage” and tell me his isn’t the best version.

    I dare you.

  16. THE BYRDS
    The Notorious Byrd Brothers
    1968 Canada pressing

    Last spin of the night.

    Unequivocally one of my three all-time favorite #60s albums.

    This was the very first Byrds album I heard start to finish. My uncles (all 9 of them) all listened to country and folk music, but a few branched out into the more #psychedelic areas of those genres.

    That’s where I first heard The Notorious Byrd Brothers. From my Uncle Ed, who sadly, passed away last week.

    I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to hear this album without thinking about him, and how he taught me that they were much more than those few hit songs I heard on oldies and classic rock radio as a kid.

    This album features a lot of different studio effects for the time, & it’s one of the first LPs to ever feature a Moog synth.

    Gene Clark actually came back for a few weeks, & may or may NOT be on some backing vocals on 2 songs.

    You can have your cake and eat it too
    Why wait any longer for the one you love
    When he's standing in front of you?”
