Discover the explosive era of American hard rock in the late 60s and early 70s with David Wells. Against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and powerful amps, bands like Blue Cheer, The Stooges, and ZZ Top pushed rock to new heights. We explore the evolution of hard rock, featuring lesser-known gems and the role of influential figures like Muddy Waters and Todd Rundgren. Join us as we trace the genre’s journey from the underground counterculture to mainstream acceptance, culminating in Grand Funk Railroad’s chart-topping hit We’re an American Band.
