The distinctive sound of the psychedelic era was not just component of the rock music of the period, there was a good bit of folk music which was influenced by the times. That sound did not end with advent of the 1970s and lives on in the work of many artists today. On the next two editions of SORM, we look back to that magical period and forward to today. This week we'll hear some classic music from Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane and Paul Siebel, among others.
