This week is a Rock-a-Barry Weekend and I’m starting off with a little folk revival with the Brothers Four, and do you remember The Easy Riders? How about their only Top-10 hit Marianne? The Riders had a lot more influence in the background of 50s folk and pop music, and we talk a little about Cisco Houston, The Limeliters, Peter, Paul & Mary, and The Kingston Trio. And, let’s not forget Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash (yep, he was a big fan of folk music and Bob Dylan), and Joan Baez. All of that is just in the first half-hour, and we move on from there to Peter & Gordon, (Peter Asher became a very influential producer and manager of Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor). If you’re a fan of music from the 1940s into the 1970s, tune and I’ll give you an earful.
