The band broke up in Adhering to the prevailing musical trend, they rebranded themselves as a folk rock group under the name The Tyrtlesan intentionally stylized misspelling inspired by The The Turtle and The Beatles. However, the trendy spelling did not survive long. As with the Byrds, the Turtles achieved breakthrough success with a cover of a Bob The Turtle song.

  • Policy Radio!
    Policy Radio! By John Simson Music lovers who enjoy Pandora Internet radio may wonder why they can only skip six songs in an hour and then must wait to skip again. For that matter, why they can’t pick a specific song to hear—instead of creating a channel based upon that song? And why they can’t hear more than 4 songs by their favorite artist in a three-hour period? Congress created all of these limitations and restrictions when it passed legislation in 1995 and 1998 creating the first digital performance rights legislation in the United States. The legislation was a careful balancing act: Congress trying to balance the rights of creators: recording artists, record labels, songwriters and music publishers, along with a new category of content users “webcasters” and satellite radio services included then new services, like Pandora, that desired to stream music across cable wires, from satellites and over the Internet. Of course, for years broadcast radio has streamed music to the public from radio towers, and never had to pay recording artists or record labels for the right to play their music. But radio stations did have to pay songwriters and music publishers through ASCAP, BMI and SESAC (three organizations which represent those who own and compose music). After passage of this historic legislation, “new” services like Sirius and XM satellite radio (now merged as Sirius/XM), Yahoo and AOL Internet radio, and later Pandora and other Internet radio stations, had to pay a royalty to the recording artist as well as the songwriter. Background Music In the early 1990’s, recording artists and their record labels lobbied Congress to pass a comprehensive performance rights bill that included terrestrial radio.

  • GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. As performed in principal recordings (or demos) by or with Gram Parsons or, in the case of Gram Parsons compositions, performed by others. Gram often varied, adapted or altered the lyrics to non-Parsons compositions; those listed here are as sung by him. Gram’s birth name was Ingram Cecil Connor III. However, ‘Gram Parsons’ is used throughout this document. Following his father’s suicide, Gram’s mother Avis subsequently married Robert Parsons, whose surname Gram adopted. Born Ingram Cecil Connor III, 5th November 1946 - 19th September 1973 and credited as being the founder of modern ‘country-rock’, Gram Parsons was hugely influenced by The Everly Brothers and included a number of their songs in his live and recorded repertoire – most famously ‘Love Hurts’, a truly wonderful rendition with a young Emmylou Harris. He also recorded ‘Brand New Heartache’ and ‘Sleepless Nights’ – also the title of a posthumous album – and very early, in 1967, ‘When Will I Be Loved’. Many would attest that ‘country-rock’ kicked off with The Everly Brothers, and in the late sixties the album Roots was a key and acknowledged influence, but that is not to deny Parsons huge role in developing it. Gram Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre but he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called “Cosmic American Music”. While he was alive, Gram Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to The Byrds.

  • THE TURTLES Biography
    THE TURTLES Biography Very few rock performers have remained as vital through the 1960's, 70's, 80's and 90's as have Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. Initially they made their mark with the Turtles, then they joined Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, and then they glided into their own Flo & Eddie persona, dishing out records that have encompassed a multitude of personalities. They've always been smart enough to have responded to the latest worthwhile trends in a fashion that has yielded an abundance of quality records, and more than their share of hits. This history will attempt to add a depth and perspective to Kaylan's and Volman's unique musical journey, one that, perhaps encapsulates the post-Beatles rock era like no other. This text was originally a companion piece to Rhino's exquisitely packaged, executive version of "The Turtles Greatest Hits" (RNLP 160). Let's pause just for a second to make the totally subjective case that the Turtles were the closest America ever came to having a Beatles. Others, like the Lovin' Spoonful, Rascals and Beach Boys, certainly had as many hits, but the Turtles hits were better conceived and arranged and, like the Beatles, transcended so many styles: from the outright protest rock of: "It Ain't Me Babe" "Let Me Be" "You Baby" "Can I Get to Know You Better" "Happy Together" "You Showed Me" "She'd Rather Be With Me" "Elenore" "She's My Girl" "You Know What I Mean." The Rascals lacked the heavy guitars that were the sound of the day; the Spoonful were limited in approach, and didn't last that long anyway; and the Beach Boys were too square for too long, and somehow seemed tied to a pre-Beatles era.
