S6.E24: Strings Attached
from Out of the Main · host Tom Nixon and John Nixon
What role did strings play in pop rock music (and the like) in the 70s and 80s, and how did that differ from what came before and what was to come after? Like most things, strings took on a new art form and played a new role during the slice of recorded music history we celebrate around here. By listener suggestion, Tom and John walk through the nerdy details and share some of their favorite applications of strings in music from the heyday—yes…even in yacht rock!Listen and Subscribe:Find the podcast platform of your choice here.Referenced and Related:Playlist of songs featured on Out of the MainJohn’s Spotify Yacht Rock PlaylistTom’s Spotify Yacht Rock PlaylistIntro/outro: Stock Music “We’re Here” composed by John H.
