JESSE COLIN YOUNG TRIBUTE EPISODE - The Youngbloods. "Get Together": Anthem For The Woodstock Generation During The 1967 Summer Of Love. From NYC Folk Musician To Counterculture Hero!
Episode Notes
This is a TRIBUTE EPISODE FOR JESSE COLIN YOUNG of The Youngbloods, who passed away this week, and an Encore Presentation of my October 2022 interview with him. Jesse became a San Francisco-based Counterculture Hero during the 1967 Summer Of Love with his massive hit “Get Together”. The song became an anthem for the Woodstock generation. He was 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.
