Jesse Colin Young - The Youngbloods. "Get Together": Anthem For The Woodstock Generation During The 1967 Summer Of Love. From NYC Folk Musician To Counterculture Hero!
Episode Notes
Jesse Colin Young started out as a NYC folk musician playing at all the clubs in Greenwich Village, and then became a San Francisco-based Counterculture Hero during the 1967 Summer Of Love with his massive hit “Get Together” by his band The Youngbloods. The song became the anthem for the Woodstock generation. He’s a pioneer in folk and American roots music and an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist.
My featured song is “Trippin’” from the album of the same name by my band, Project Grand Slam. Spotify link here.
