Revivals 2017

There is so much music coming out now. And there is so much music from the past, the recording industry going full bore since the 1920's. Sometimes it's time for a revival of a classic artist. Deaths, anniversaries, controversies, books, movies, celebrity covers... any old excuse for a revival will do. Sometimes, it's just the right time.

Here are some of the "revivals" I've been experiencing lately:

Gene Clark/The Byrds (and with Carla Olson)
