It Was A Very Good Year

Join us in the clink to discuss At Folsom Prison, the blistering live album that birthed the popular image of Johnny Cash as the outlaw cowboy (3:46). Then, try not to burn the meatloaf as we discuss The Odd Couple (19:13), including a lengthy appreciation of Walter Matthau’s vast spectrum of curmudgeonliness, and Frederick Wiseman’s direct-cinema cultural artefact High School (47:24). Plus, we go international with a seminal tropicalia album from Brazilian superstar Gilberto Gil (33:53). We’d love to hear your feedback — hit us up on Twitter @goodyearshow.

Take a trip to the Planet of the Apes (03:55),  then a different kind of trip altogether with 2001: A Space Odyssey (23:29). Plus, the underrated Odessey and Oracle (43:49) and a seminal psychedelic-soul album from Sly & the Family Stone (59:03). We'd love to hear your feedback — hit us up on Twitter @goodyearshow.

Bradley and Simon discuss four of the most interesting releases of March, 1968: the surprisingly dark hippie morality tale Psych-Out starring a baby-faced Jack Nicholson (5:27); We're Only In It For the Money, Frank Zappa's satirical jazz-rock skewering of the postwar political climate (24:53); the birth of American independent cinema courtesy of John Cassavetes' Faces (40:31); and the godfather of soul James Brown releases his first full funk album, I Can't Stand Myself (When You Touch Me) (58:54). We'll do everything we can to ensure you don't have a bad trip.
