Keeping It Simple Today With Our ‘Are You Ready for the Country’ Multi-Artist EP and The (Young) Rascals’ AOW Later, July 16, 2023

Good morning, music lovers! We are on a ‘keep it simple’ Sunday routine today with some great country and country-rock (no bad pop bands with fiddles, we promise) and our Album of The Week from The Young Rascals.

Here’s your Sunday Funday lineup:

7:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Groovin’ by The Young Rascals NEW!

No doubt, The Rascals are one of our favorite bands; a great rock band that could really make real R&B music. They just kept churning out the hits between 1964 and 1969. You couldn’t keep them off the charts, and they fully deserved to be there. Groovin’ was their third studio album, released on July 31, 1967. It went to #5 on the Billboard Top LP chart, #7 on the R&B chart, and #2 in Canada. Eight of the songs were released as singles, with the title track reaching #1 in the U.S. This would be the final album where they would use the ‘Young’ moniker. Moving on, they would explore psychedelia as did so many bands of this generation. They will be back here again with another AOW.
