Folk Rock
Folk rock is a fusion genre of rock music with heavy influences from pop, English and American folk music. It arose in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom in the mid-1960s. In the U.S., folk rock emerged from the folk music revival. Performers such as Bob Dylan and the Byrds—several of whose members had earlier played in folk ensembles—attempted to blend the sounds of rock with their pre-existing folk repertoire, adopting the use of electric instrumentation and drums in a way previously discouraged in the U.S. folk community. The term "folk rock" was initially used in the U.S. music press in June 1965 to describe the Byrds' music. The commercial success of the Byrds' cover version of Dylan's " Mr. Tambourine Man" and their debut album of the same name, along with Dylan's own recordings with rock instrumentation—on the albums '' Bringing It All Back Home'' (1965), '' Highway 61 Revisited'' (1965), and '' Blonde on Blonde'' (1966)—encouraged other folk ...

These Days (The Grapes Of Wrath Album)
''These Days'' is an album by Canadian rock band The Grapes of Wrath, released in 1991. Produced by John Leckie and mixed by Gareth Cousins, the album found the band attempting to expand their traditional folk rock sound in a more guitar-heavy alternative rock direction. Although the album sold well, and spawned the hit singles "You May Be Right" and "I Am Here", it was not as popular with audiences or critics as its predecessor, 1989's ''Now and Again''. Guest musicians on the album included Phil Comparelli and members of XTC (credited as the ''Dukes of Stratosphear''). To promote the third single "A Fishing Tale", the band held a contest on Canadian music video channel MuchMusic entitled "Fishing with the Grapes of Wrath". To be eligible to win, viewers had to submit the name of the magazine that Tom Hooper picks up in the video to win a fishing trip with Tom Hooper, Vincent Jones and MuchMusic VJ Terry David Mulligan. The single "I Am Here" appeared on the RPM Top Singles c ...

Let Me Roll It
"Let Me Roll It" is a song by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released on their 1973 album '' Band on the Run''. The song was also released as the B-side to " Jet" in early 1974, and has remained a staple of McCartney's live concerts since it was first released. Origin The song's title was inspired by a quote from George Harrison's "I'd Have You Anytime", the opening track from his critically acclaimed ''All Things Must Pass''. According to ''Ultimate Classic Rock'' contributor Nick DeRiso, John Lennon incorporated the riff from "Let Me Roll It" into his 1974 song " Beef Jerky". DeRiso rated it as Wings' 7th greatest song. Alternatively, ''Rolling Stone''s critic Jon Landau, saw the song as a pastiche of John Lennon's sound, particularly the riff and the use of tape echo on the vocals. McCartney, however, didn't intend the song to be a pastiche of Lennon. He did say the vocal "does sound like John. ... I hadn't realised I'd sung it like John." McCartney ...

See Emily Play
"See Emily Play" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released as their second single on 16 June 1967 on the Columbia label. Written by original frontman Syd Barrett, it was released as a non-album single but appeared as the opening track of ''Pink Floyd'', the US edition of the band's debut album '' The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'' (1967). The song was written by Barrett following the Games for May concert and became a top 10 hit when released in the UK the following month. The group appeared three times on ''Top of the Pops'', where Barrett started showing signs of erratic behaviour, which ultimately led to him leaving the group in early 1968. Although Pink Floyd seldom performed the song live, it has been recorded subsequently by at least seven diverse artists and regarded as a classic psychedelic pop single. Writing "See Emily Play" is also known as "Games for May", named after a free concert on 12 May 1967 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank, i ...

The Grapes Of Wrath (band) Albums
''The Grapes of Wrath'' is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. The book won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and it was cited prominently when Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962. Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, agricultural industry changes, and bank foreclosures forcing tenant farmers out of work. Due to their nearly hopeless situation, and in part because they are trapped in the Dust Bowl, the Joads set out for California on the " mother road", along with thousands of other "Okies" seeking jobs, land, dignity, and a future. ''The Grapes of Wrath'' is frequently read in American high school and college literature classes due to its historical context and enduring legacy. A Hollywood film version, starring Henry Fonda and directed by John Ford, was released in 1940 ...
