As such, they have managed to cross the all-important cultural barriers between folk and world and rock music.”

Davisville, Sept. 14, 2020: Learn how psychedelic pedal steel and sweet harmonies helped mix country with rock ’n’ roll

Mon, 09/14/2020 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Gilded Palace label, cropped.jpg

So, what’s your opinion of the Eagles? The band, not the team. How about Emmylou Harris, the unusual pedal steel of the Flying Burrito Brothers, or the pop twang of the Beatles’ “Rocky Raccoon”? If any of this resonates with you, or even simply makes you curious, then today’s guest might interest you: Larry Lobre, a retired administrator at UC Davis, a musician, and an instructor whose next class for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UC Davis in October presents “The Origins and Development of Country Rock Music.” We talk about the genre, what it offers, OLLI, The Flying Burrito Brothers'Gilded Palace of Sin, and the time Merle Haggard, his backseat full of 45 records, drove in to a Signal gas station where Larry was working in Oildale.
