It’s all about albums and their impact.
Albums that saw a shift in an artist’s musical performance.
And albums with massive sales too.
Our featured albums in this podcast show ambition, artistic creativity & how it was possibly a matter of right time/right place, where cultural aspects, technological experimentation, & the merging of different musical genres happened to all fall into place, unlike anytime before.
We time travel to the 1950s and finish at the end of the 1960s finding albums that were ‘influential’ - or genre-defining - full of songs that inspired other musicians to create music vastly different to what the culture, & their audience, were used to hearing at the time.
And, of course, albums that have become pivotal to the soundtrack of our lives.
With discussions upon albums by artists like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Ray Charles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin & Creedence Clearwater Revival to name but a few!
Some are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them - listen in!
