Ep 23: John Kay & Steppenwolf (Retrospective)

Author: playthatpodcast May 20, 2021 Duration: 1:27:14
Get your motor runnin'... for John Kay and Steppenwolf, in our longest (and most epic) episode yet! In this episode, I discuss the band behind iconic '60s hits "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride", and all the incredible (but often overlooked!) music that came after them. John Kay led Steppenwolf through a 50 year recording/touring career that included all sorts of ups and downs - a truly remarkable story. Plus, LOTS of great music in this one!  Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/playthatpodcast​​ Find us on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/playthatpodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
