Folk rock definitely had its hey-day in the 1970s. However, we can’t forget the folk rock bands of the 1960s who paved the way for the entire genre. Some of the following four bands lasted well past the 1960s, but the music they made during that specific era is nothing short of legendary. Let’s take a look, shall we?

There’s no denying that guitarist Trey Anastasio is the frontman of Phish. When Trey is “on,” the band is “on” in 99% of situations. Anastasio usually handles the soloing on most Phish jam vehicles, so it was a surprise that keyboardist Page McConnell had a turn in the spotlight to start a stellar “Harry Hood” jam on this date in 1995 at Great Woods in Mansfield, Massachusetts — the same venue where the band will kick off their summer tour later this month.

Mercury Rev are releasing a new album, Born Horses, on September 6 via Bella Union. Now they have shared its second single, “Ancient Love.” The song is backed by a muted trumpet and tells of a love that spans centuries (or perhaps even longer). Listen below. For Born...

One of the best things about progressive rock is how good it sounds live. From unusual guitar riffs to complex melodies to advanced composition techniques, it’s the kind of genre that is best enjoyed on good ol’ vinyl or live in-person. Surprisingly enough, though, some legends in prog-rock have avoided playing specific songs from their discography. These three prog-rock songs were never (or rarely) performed by the artists who recorded them for some pretty interesting reasons.

Given the massive talent and success that followed Willie Nelson over the decades, it appears that his son Lukas Nelson followed in his father’s footsteps as he helped create the Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real band. Throughout their time on stage, the band released several albums and numerous extended plays. Although gaining a faithful following during their time on stage, in June 2024, the band announced an indefinite hiatus. With fans wondering what the future holds, Lukas once showcased his love for another artist, Neil Young, when he covered the hit song “Harvest Moon.”

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

I met with Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman Wednesday for lunch. It’s the second time we have lunched together this year. Coffman wanted to hear my thoughts on plans the city has for a homeless navigation campus. The city recently bought a hotel that they intend to transform into a homeless campus. Unlike other homeless hotels, guests will be classified and located in the hotel based on whether they are receiving case management, employment assistance and substance abuse and mental health treatment. People receiving services would receive better accommodations such as semi-private rooms and be placed on floors separate from those not ready to engage with case workers, Coffman said.
