Real classic rock that you don't hear anywhere else on the radio.
Live every Friday on WREK 91.1 FM Atlanta, GA, or streaming live and archived throughout the week at www.wrek.org
After more than 30 years on Atlanta's airwaves, Stonehenge continues to bring you the very best in rock music that you won't hear on your radio anywhere else! We pooh-pooh the classic rock radio stations that have just 10 bands and 20 songs on their entire playlists, and we celebrate the great depth and breadth of truly 'classic' rock!
Every week, we begin the show at 8pm with a classic rock album played in it's entirety, and this week was no exception! All this year we've been showcasing the swath of wonderful records released 40 years ago in 1969. This week we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Neil Young's excellent album - 'Everybody Knows This is Nowhere', the first of his albums with Crazy Horse, who Neil had recruited from the LA group the Rockets. It's a really wonderful, loose and creative record, and one that has quietly turned platinum over the years.
Not really any good video of Crazy Horse from 1969 online, so here's CSNY performing 'Down by the River' that very same year, after Neil joined their ranks. Love it or leave it!
