#NeilYoung #TonightstheNight #70srock #classicrock #countryrock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #shakey June 20, 1975 ~ Shakey releases what many consider his best album. It's the dark centerpiece of Shakey's famous "Ditch Trilogy," alongside Time Fades Away and On The Beach. They were Neil's take on the highs and the lows that followed the success of Harvest and this one was recorded as a direct, grief-stricken reaction to the drug…

Workingman’s Dead
#TheGratefulDead #Workingmansdead #70srock #countryrock #folkrock #jerrygarcia #bobweir #roberthunter #rootsrock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Think this through with me ... The Dead release their 4th album on June 14, 1970. It come at a time when some decisions needed to be made -- the band was dealing with some heavy debt and the 70's music landscape was changing by the minute. They traded their trippy, sonic stuff for some…

Monkey Island
#jgeilsband #monkeyisland #70smusic #70srock #rock #bluesrock #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rock #rockmusic #7 from The J. Geils Band. Released June 9, 1977. It followed their monster live album, Blow Your Face Out and the band felt they needed a flex in their sound. The title track took them and fans to a new place -- over nine minutes of jazzy, Latin/rock fusion with a hint of gospel. Guest musicians helped them get there -- Cissy Houston does some…
Dire Straits
#direstraits #classicrock #markknopfler #70srock #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rock #rockmusic The debut album hit like a ... shiver in the dark ... June 9, 1978 in the UK ... October '78 in the USA. It arrived at the height of punk and disco but it broke through heartily with its stripped-back rock sound and Mark Knopfler's signature fingerpicking style.
