60s Rock & Roll

 

’60s ROCK & ROLL in­cludes ar­ti­cles about the music that was re­leased on 45s and LPs from that decade. This is the era in which good ol’ rock & roll mor­phed into just rock music by ex­panding it mu­sical and lyrical boundaries.

Most of the ar­ti­cles focus on what I call Rock-with-a-Capitol-R, in­cluding folk-rock, psy­che­delia, and the then-novel con­cept of the con­cept album. Discogra­phies and price guides are in­cluded in some articles.
