Listen to last week’s episode: Sly Stone, Psychedelic Rock and the Summer of Love

These extended playlists come out every Monday for paid subscribers only.


Thanks to everyone who joined me for last Friday’s Sly Stone & Brian Wilson Live Love Fest. And a big thanks to my distinguished guests: Milan McAlevey, Michael Angelakos and Hamilton Leithauser. I’ll release the thrilling audio later this week.

Playlist: Summer of Sly and Psychedelic Rock

I don’t know why but psychedelic rock has always been the ultimate summer music for me. Especially when it’s turned up really loud.

So this week I’ve got a nice long playlist of everything from last week’s episode plus a lot more.

Sid Barrett era Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix
The Great Society

We start off with a gang of my favorite Sly songs and launch into stuff by his psychedelic contemporaries. So much cool stuff. Enjoy!
