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]

The great tunes are just spilling out of the vault. How do you take advantage? Two ears, one each side of the head, listen.

Prog Pie - Lemon Meringue

Saturday Jun 28, 2025

Saturday Jun 28, 2025

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?

Best of HETTO Sh 101-150

Wednesday Jun 25, 2025

I picked the 'Best of' songs featured in Shows 101-150. This is also Show #250. Please "Follow" this podcast. That helps keep my psyche purring.

FOLK - Black Walnut

Sunday Jun 22, 2025

Sunday Jun 22, 2025

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.

Thursday Jun 19, 2025

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.

Swell Swill - Coffee

Saturday Jun 14, 2025

Saturday Jun 14, 2025

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.

Country Rock

Wednesday Jun 11, 2025

Wednesday Jun 11, 2025

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.

Baroque Pop

Monday Jun 09, 2025

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/pop sound. You'll hear a certain theme to this set of songs, some whimsy but all pretty friendly to the EARS.

Power Trios

Friday Jun 06, 2025

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.
