Description of 60s Rock Experience59 hits from the decade that put the message in music!The ?60s were the most turbulent decade of the 20th century, with the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the sexual revolution all upsetting the status quo that had settled in during the Eisenhower era. Luckily, turmoil makes for great music, and the artists of the ?60s rose to the challenge by putting messages?of anger and fear, happiness and peace?into their music. The ?60s Rock Explosion, a companion piece to the hit PBS special, collects some of the most memorable songs from that magical era into a blast from the past that still has the power to move us today. This 59-track, triple-disc anthology was loosely inspired by Public Television's examination of the turbulent '60s. Thus its three chapters ("The Vietnam Backbeat"/"There'll Be a 'Love-In' There"/"Message & Meaning") come not only organized around historical themes rather than musical ones, but focus almost exclusively on the decade's closing, Vietnam-war dominated third. Thus the only genuine artifacts from the Beatles-led British Invasion era (the movement that arguably defined much of the decade's music in one way or another) are the Kinks' proto-metal classic "You Really Got Me," Texan Bobby Fuller's roots-rousing answer to the shaggy Englishmen then dominating the charts, "I Fought the Law." Yet there's still enough leeway within that scope to showcase the era's rich eclecticism. Indeed, "rock" is a very loose term to describe a collection that includes classic soul (The Temptations, Jr. Walker, Percy Sledge and Martha and the Vandellas), sunny pop (Tommy James, The Monkees, Association), nascent psychedelia (Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, Strawberry Alarm Clock) and rootsy folk-rock (The Byrds, Grateful Dead). It's also a tribute to both a spirit of boundless musical possibilities and an inclusive, long-gone radio era where all of these disparate styles could and did thrive literally side-by-side. --Jerry McCulley Classic Rock CDs |
