Kings of the Keys

On Vinyl Tap this week our look at the piano in rock and roll continues. Early rock piano players drew from Jazz, rhythm and blues and boogie-woogie for their inspiration.  As technology changed, so did musical tastes and the piano along with other keyboards became a huge part of progressive rock. And still a song just might need the versatility of 88 keys to make it sparkle. The playlist this week includes, Van Halen, Blue Rodeo, Spencer Davis Group, ELO, Gino Vanelli, The Doors and many more.
