    Epysode 36: "Aquila" by Aquila
    May 8 2025
    Epysode 36: "Aquila". Step into the world of early ’70s prog rock with a deep dive into "Aquila" —a bold, genre-blending debut that fuses jazz, blues, and classical flourishes into one powerful sound. This overlooked 1970 release showcases the adventurous spirit of the era, packed with complex arrangements, soulful horns, and dynamic shifts that prog fans and vinyl collectors alike will appreciate. I hope you dig "Aquila" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== I referenced this article and interview for some of the content of this epysode: https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2015/04/aquila-interview.html ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance.
