As we end the year, John Diliberto looks back on Echoes musicians who left the planet in 2017. They range from the iconic to the obscure, but all left their vibrations on the planet.
There is no other Year End music list like Echoes Best of of 2017. Ambient Requiems. Deep space journeys, chamber pop, progrock epics, EDM journeys and world fusion. See who made the list.
In 1967 the Rolling Stones went psychedelic, cosmic and a little bit demonic with the album, Their Satanic Majesties Request. We’ll hear a cosmic track from that record.
In a loaded Flashback 50, we highlight four albums all released 50 years ago this week, in 1967. We’ll hear tracks from The Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour”, Jimi Hendrix’s “Axis: Bold As Love”, The Jefferson Airplane’s “After Bathing at Baxters” and the debut of Traffic, “Mr. Fantasy.”
Jimi Hendrix changed music forever. Today we remember Jimi on Echoes and John Diliberto shares some of his thoughts on the single most important musician in his life.
We go back to 1967 to revisit Cream’s “Disraeli Gears” in a Flashback 50. Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker created this psychedelic classic that includes “Sunshine of Your Love.”
“Strange Days” was the second album by the Doors and it refined their deeply psychological acid rock sound. We look back on this classic album on its 50th anniversary.
It’s Strange Days on the next Echoes with a Flashback 50 to the second album by The Doors. We’ll hear a suite of songs from this classic acid rock album as well as some surprising covers.
Wear some flowers in your hair when we explore all music psychedelic with the sounds of 1967 inspired by the Human Be-In, the Monterey Pop Festival and more. TOTIDO!
