The Time Machine visits 1968 this time. It was a banner year for both The Beatles and the Rolling Stones; they both released legendary albums. Etta James made the best album of her career. Archie Bell and the Drells taught us a dance called the “Tighten Up,” and the Byrds made a country-rock masterpiece. It’s all 1968 our year on this episode of Time Machine, from The Current.
