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 from my personal collection. 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. I will NOT play anything I wouldn’t listen to. Trust me EARS. Each show is about 1 hour in length (rare digressions).

More soup for you. I promise I will not be the "Soup Nazi". If you need assistance, these will be artists starting with the letters D, E and F. More soup? We shall see. No orders...No Soup.

There are some obvious omissions from this set, like maybe the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. That's okay, I had enough material for a 22 song/1 hour show without them. You ask: "Outta your wheelhouse Joe?" I say, "probably". I am able to fake (improvise) however. I had visions of rollerskating at the American Legion Hall with many of these songs. The release time period for this set was 1963-1968.

How did this come about? I don't know, I plead the Fifth. It just seems the right thing to do. If you need help, all the artists start with the letters: A, B or C. More Soup to come with different letters (duh).

More of the "I need to be extra selective" decade: The 80's. Some great stuff and some abysmal crap. I've culled through my archives to deliver something presentable, me hopes. The problem: drum machines, reverb, too clean production and poor-sounding synthesizers. Sometimes the tunes just rise above those handcuffs and create magic within the 80's. I present this for your approval.

This show completes the cycle and features all the bands that were influenced by The Allman Brothers Band. There are three direct connections: 1 song written by Gregg Allman, a solo release by an Allman Brothers Band member and another artist that played in the Allman Brothers Band in a later configuration. What makes a Southern Rock band? It helps to be from the south, in particular Jacksonville, FL.

This is an excellent format for me to play tunes that are great but just don't fit neatly in any category. I love all these tunes and I hope (think) you will as well. Carry on EARsters

These are mostly bands from Detroit between mid-60s into early-70s. Southeast Michigan was a hotbed for talented artists during that time. I will mention where the band was from if it varies from the Detroit area. It starts with the incomparable MC5 and ends with a band from Grand Rapids, Phlegethon. It will include others that you expect along with a few you won't. Rock On Michigan! For the non-natives, those are Petoskey stones.

Close your eyes...imagine cruising near Fallasburg Park (that's Lowell, MI for non-natives) listening to your 8-track player around 1971-72. These are the sounds that I remember, you? Looking for a party, are ya? Just to make sure of what you may think you're seeing, those are NOT the remnants of anything I had as an 8-track collection. I had a much Better Collection and it is Long Gone!
