Just because it was January – traditionally a slow music month – doesn’t mean that there weren’t classic releases back in January 1971. Forty years ago, there is (obviously, based on our show) a huge number of releases that are now considered classic, and this show focuses on two of them.
Jerry Garcia’s debut solo release contains some of the best work he ever did, with or without the Grateful Dead, while the band Yes moved in an entirely different direction, adding classical elements and complex arrangements to rock and roll instrumentation. Both albums now stand as standard bearers for their respective styles.
