The Electric Flag: A Long Time Comin' with guest Richard Foos, founder of Rhino Records

The Electric Flag – A Long Time Comin' (1968): The Album That Defined American Music's Restless Soul About This Episode In this episode of Music Rewind, we shine a long-overdue spotlight on one of the most electrifying and underappreciated albums in rock history: A Long Time Comin' by The Electric Flag, released in 1968. Formed by guitarist Mike Bloomfield following his work with Bob Dylan and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, The Electric Flag blended blues, soul, R&B, jazz, and psychedelic rock into a loose, live-wire sound they called "American Music." It was music that refused to be categorized — and that's exactly what made it matter. Host Steve is joined by Richard Foos, founder of Rhino Records, to unpack the album's place in rock history and why The Electric Flag deserves a much bigger seat at the table of 1960s music. What We Cover The formation of The Electric Flag and Mike Bloomfield's vision for a new kind of American band How A Long Time Comin' fused blues, soul, R&B, jazz, and psychedelic rock into something entirely its own The album's place in the explosive San Francisco and late-60s rock scenes Why The Electric Flag remains one of rock's most overlooked and underrated acts Richard Foos' perspective on the album's legacy through the lens of decades in the music industry How Rhino Records championed artists and albums that the mainstream left behind What A Long Time Comin' tells us about creative risk-taking and the enduring power of American roots music About the Guest: Richard Foos Richard Foos is the founder of Rhino Records, one of the most influential and beloved independent record labels in music history. Since its founding in 1973, Rhino became synonymous with championing overlooked artists, lovingly curated reissues, and a deep, irreverent passion for the full spectrum of recorded music. 🔗 Learn more about Richard Foos: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0285182/ https://www.facebook.com/richard.foos/ https://laane.org/advisory_board/richard-foos/ Episode Details 🎙️ Show: Music Rewind 📅 Season 5, Episode 4 💿 Album: A Long Time Comin' 🎤 Artist: The Electric Flag 📆 Year Released: 1968 🏷️ Genre: Blues Rock, Soul, R&B, Psychedelic Rock, Jazz Rock, American Roots ⏱️ Era: Late 1960s Rock, San Francisco Scene, Blues Revival Get the Album 🛒 Pick up A Long Time Comin' on vinyl or CD: https://ebay.us/xXq2PJ More From Sidereal Media Group 📀 Album Archives: The Vault of Music History Every great album has a story.

#254 - Use Your Illusion II by Guns N' Roses (1991)

Guns N' Roses at Their Peak and on the Edge Let’s tell the story of Use Your Illusion II. By 1991, Guns N' Roses weren't just a band — they were a force of nature with something to prove. In this episode of Album Archives, host Steve Epley digs into the second half of one of rock's most audacious double-album statements — a record that swings for the fences on every single track and connects more often than it has any right to. Released September 17, 1991 — the same day as Use Your Illusion I — Use Your Illusion II is widely considered the stronger of the two volumes. From the slow-burn epic "Estranged" to the raw fury of "You Could Be Mine" to the stunning reinvention of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," this is a band operating at the absolute peak of their power and the very edge of their cohesion. Axl's ambition is everywhere. So is the tension that would eventually tear everything apart. We break down: How GNR pulled off one of the most ambitious release strategies in rock history Why Use Your Illusion II edges out its twin as the stronger volume The epic trilogy of "Estranged" and what it reveals about Axl Rose at his most exposed "You Could Be Mine" — one of the greatest hard rock tracks ever recorded The beginning of the end — how the sessions that built this record also started to break the band This is what happens when the biggest rock band in the world decides there are no limits.

#255 - The Last Waltz by The Band (1978)

The Greatest Farewell in Rock History Some bands break up. The Band threw a party. Released in 1978, The Last Waltz is the document of The Band's Thanksgiving Day farewell concert at Winterland in San Francisco — a night so loaded with talent, history, and emotion that it still feels almost too good to be real. In this episode of Album Archives, host S.R. Epley walks through one of the most celebrated live albums ever recorded. The guest list alone is staggering: Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Emmylou Harris, and more — all sharing a stage with five musicians who had spent sixteen years earning the right to this kind of send-off. Martin Scorsese filmed it. The world watched. And somehow, against all odds, the music lived up to the moment. We break down: The story behind the farewell — why The Band chose to stop, and how the night came together The guest performances that made history, from Dylan's closing set to Van Morrison's explosive turn Richard Manuel's "The Well" — one of the most emotionally unguarded moments in the entire concert, and a reminder of a talent that deserved far more spotlight How Robbie Robertson shaped the night's vision, and the tensions that came with it Why The Last Waltz stands as the gold standard for live albums and concert films alike Sixteen years. One last night. This is how you say goodbye. 🎧 Get the Vinyl Support the show and own a piece of rock history: https://ebay.us/PeG0aL Affiliate link — costs you nothing extra and helps keep Album Archives going. 🎵 Dedicate an Episode Got an album that shaped your life but didn't make the Top 300?

#253 - Violator by Depeche Mode (1990)

Cold on the Surface. Fire Underneath. The Story of Violator. Let's tell the story of Violator. By 1990, Depeche Mode had spent a decade building toward something massive — and with their seventh album they arrived. In this episode of Album Archives, host S.R. Epley digs into the record that took a cult synth-pop band from the underground and delivered them to arenas worldwide, permanently. Released March 19, 1990, Violator is dark, seductive, and meticulously crafted — a record that trades in obsession, desire, and spiritual unease without ever losing its grip on an incredible melody. From the brooding opener "World in My Eyes" to the towering "Personal Jesus" to the devastating closer "Clean," this is an album that rewards every single listen with something new. Producer Flood and the band created something that sounds like nothing else in the catalog of popular music — simultaneously cold and deeply human. We break down: How Depeche Mode evolved from synth-pop novelty to one of the most important bands of their era The making of Violator — and how Flood's production approach transformed the band's sound "Personal Jesus" — one of the most distinctive and influential singles ever recorded "Enjoy the Silence" and why it remains one of the great songs of the 1990s Why Violator belongs in any serious conversation about the greatest albums ever made Cold on the surface. On fire underneath.

Enema of the State by Blink-182 (1999) - Honorable Mention 8

The Album That Started a Pop-Punk Revolution It's 1999, and three goofy kids from San Diego are about to change what punk sounds like on the radio. In this Honorable Mention edition of Album Archives, host S.R. Epley gets personal about the record that sent him down a pop-punk rabbit hole he never fully climbed out of, and has no intention of leaving. Released June 1, 1999, Enema of the State is Blink-182 at their absolute peak. It’s 35 minutes of juvenile humor, massive hooks, and surprising emotional depth that defined a generation and launched pop-punk into the mainstream stratosphere. From the frantic opener "Dumpweed" to the anthem closer, this record doesn't waste a single second. And right in the middle of it all sits "Adam's Song", the track that proved there was always more going on beneath the surface than dick jokes and MTV videos. We break down: How Travis Barker's arrival transformed the band's sound overnight The track-by-track journey from suburban chaos to genuine emotional vulnerability Why "Adam's Song" remains one of the most important songs in pop-punk history The Boxcar Racer fracture and watching a favorite band come apart in real time Why Enema of the State still sounds urgent, funny, and alive 25 years later Nobody likes you when you're 23.

#256 - The Band (1969)

When Rock Looked Back to Move Forward Let's tell the story of The Band's self-titled masterpiece. Released September 22, 1969, The Band arrived at one of the strangest crossroads in American history — and somehow made sense of it all. In this episode of Album Archives, host S.R. Epley digs into the self-titled sophomore record that cemented The Band's place as one of the most original and important acts of their era, or any era. Coming off the success of Music from Big Pink, Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, and Garth Hudson went deeper — pulling from roots rock, folk, country, blues, and Civil War mythology to paint vivid portraits of an America that felt both lost and enduring. Tracks like "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "Up on Cripple Creek," and "Rag Mama Rag" don't sound like they were written in 1969. They sound like they were always there, waiting to be found. We break down: How The Band built a sound that felt genuinely timeless in the age of psychedelia Robbie Robertson's storytelling craft and the Americana mythology he tapped into Levon Helm's voice and drumming — and why he remains one of rock's most underrated talents The album's influence on everyone from Dylan to Springsteen to the Americana movement today Why The Band may be the most important record you've never fully sat down with If you think you know this album, this episode will make you hear it differently.

Bob Dylan – Bringing It All Back Home (1965): The Album That Changed Everything In this episode of Music Rewind, we dive deep into one of the most pivotal and influential albums in rock and folk history: Bringing It All Back Home by Bob Dylan, released in 1965. This wasn't just another record — it was a cultural earthquake. Splitting its identity between electric rock and acoustic introspection, the album captured Dylan mid-reinvention, challenging the expectations of the folk community and redefining what a singer-songwriter could be. It helped ignite the folk-rock movement and permanently altered the trajectory of modern music. Host Steve is joined by musician and songwriter William John Titus Bishop to unpack the album's enduring legacy — track by track, side by side. What We Cover Dylan's bold transition from folk purist to electric innovator The controversy and tension his electric turn created within the music community The album's dual structure: electric Side A vs. acoustic Side B Track-by-track highlights, including Subterranean Homesick Blues, Mr. Tambourine Man, She Belongs to Me, Love Minus Zero/No Limit, and more How Bringing It All Back Home bridges two artistic worlds with confidence and conviction Why the album remains a cornerstone of creative risk-taking and artistic evolution Connecting Dylan's 1965 transformation to the challenges artists face today About the Guest: William John Titus Bishop William John Titus Bishop is a musician and songwriter whose work blends introspective lyricism with modern indie and alternative influences.

#257 - Temple Of The Dog (1991)

A Grunge Tribute Born from Loss and Brotherhood Let's tell the story of how Temple Of The Dog came to be. Released April 16, 1991, Temple of the Dog is one of the most emotionally charged records ever to emerge from Seattle — and one of the most unlikely. In this episode of Album Archives, host S.R. Epley explores the album that grief built: a tribute to Andrew Wood, the charismatic frontman of Mother Love Bone, who died of a heroin overdose in March 1990. Chris Cornell wrote the songs. Then he called in his friends. What followed was a single recording session that brought together members of Soundgarden and a then-unknown band that would soon become Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder, making his recorded debut, trades vocals with Cornell on "Hunger Strike" in one of rock's most iconic moments. The whole thing was done in 15 days — and it sounds like it was meant to last forever. We break down: The story of Andrew Wood and why his death shook Seattle to its core How Cornell channeled grief into some of his most vulnerable songwriting Eddie Vedder's recorded debut and the chemistry that made "Hunger Strike" legendary Why the album almost went unnoticed — and how it found its audience years later Its place as a time capsule of a scene on the verge of changing music history This isn't just a grunge record. It's a eulogy, a brotherhood, and a beginning all at once. 🎧 Get the Vinyl Support the show and own a piece of Seattle history: https://ebay.us/YhSYzW Affiliate link — costs you nothing extra and helps keep Album Archives going. 🎵 Dedicate an Episode Got an album that shaped your life but didn't make the Top 300?
