Always enjoy Bob Stroud's comments on his Rock and Roll Roots shows.
LEGEND OF A MIND-- MOODY BLUES-- From the new album by them called "In Search of the Lost Chord." This is a Ray Thomas tune. Interesting enough, a single release from the album before this "Days of Future Past" is just about to hit the radio. It would be "Tuesday Afternoon" which is going to be a big hit for them in the late summer of '68.
PIECE OF MY HEART-- BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY-- From "Cheap Thrills."Aretha Franklin's younger sister, Irma Franklin had done it the year before in 1967.
STONE SOULED PICNIC-- FIFTH DIMENSION-- No hiding what this tune's all about, just gettin' ripped from the pen of Laura Nyro and vocal prowess of the Fifth Dimension.
QUESTIONS-- BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD-- To some of you, this song sounds so familiar, but you just can't quite put your finger on it. It is from their third and last album "Last Time Around."It had just been released. On side two is a Stephen Stills song called "Questions" and then, a couple years later it would be reworked with CSNY and would be the lea doff selection of their album "Deja Vu" and its new title was "Carry On."
YOU AIN"T GOING NOWHERE-- BYRDS-- Square one of country rock from their new album, "Sweethearts of the Rodeo." A Bob Dylan tune.
ALICE LONG (YOU'RE STILL MY FAVORITE GIRLFRIEND)-- BOYCE AND HART-- Songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart who had written so many hits for the Monkees had their third hit on the radio.
BORN TO BE WILD-- STEPPENWOLF-- Top Ten
SHAPES OF THINGS-- JEFF BECK-- Guitarist's debut album here in the States titled "Truth" and does a song he originally did with the Yardbirds and a song they recorded right here in Chicago at Chess Recording Studios. Beck employs a vocalist on the album who we were getting our first taste of, a guy named Rod Stewart.
CLASSICAL GAS-- MASON WILLIAMS-- Another guitarist in our radio with a slightly different style than Jeff Beck. An instrumental hit.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
