Episode 520: Modcast #520: Blue-Skied Soul

I'm back! That's right modcast lovers, like it or not I am back
after a slightly longer vacation than usual. Just like Richard
Milhouse Nixon, I'm tanned, rested and ready. So, naturally I
flashback to 1968 when music was being mixed into new shapes and
forms, often by older stars who were desperate to stay relevant.
But also by up and comers looking to hit it big with a sort of
bubblegum pop aimed at teens and their rapidly expanding
wallets. 

So you get some pretty cool, and pretty interesting music in the
roughly five year period of '67 to '71.  Much of that was
America's easy, breezy version of blue-eyed soul. Known as
sunshine pop, I've always said it could just as easily been
called blue-skied soul as it was so tied to California blue
skies, with bits of soul, psych and folk mixed in with a sort of
sun and fun vibe.

As always find a complete track list plus a bonus third set of
music, and all the important links to all the important stuff
over on the modcast homepage.
