Hard-Rock Soimd
Sees Big Change
In Today’s Music
The sound — Where is it?
Where has It been? The hard
rock, mind-blowing world of
music of Chicago and the Jef
ferson Airplane is gone, to most
people. Music is now making
Us move back to the slow over
tone music; The sounds of
James Taylor, Bob Dylan, El
ton John, have all made it
big In the music world in the
past year. Scads of groups
that have been together and
made It big are now splitting
up into individual composers
making their awn sounds and
moving along to their own moods
and feelings. Maybe this Is
signifying the individualism in
the youths of now, today.
Recently RMSH hosted Hank
Williams, Jr., a well known
Individual In the country music
field. A few years or Just
last year none of the “hip”
people would have been seen at
such a place but, on the con
trary, there was a good turn
out and the country music style
was recognized as a true art.
Blues and the coimtry beat
have come back to the minds
of all. The harmonica and tlit*
solo guitar are now being used
In the place of the wall-to-wall
speakers and dim lights In
stead of all the psychedelic
lights. Country music Is t>e-
glnnlng to emerge into middle
America. Kach musician Is.
