Monday Music "Tell It all Brother" Kenny Rogers and the First Edition

 Yeah, you Get Monday Music on ......Wednesday YAY Go ME!....Real Life got in the way, my employer sent me to a 2 day class and between it and well

I didn't have time to post anything like I wanted to.    I had commented a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to post another Kenny Rogers and the First Edition song to go along with "Ruby"   This was another song that my Dad would play a lot on his reel to reel, it is one of those songs that I associate with him and the early 70's.

  I thought the music was a bit different than what I called the LSD fueled music of the Woodstock generation, this song was haunting to a kid.    

Tell It All Brother is the sixth album by Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, released in 1970 by Reprise Records. It reached #61 on the Billboard 200. Two singles were released and also charted, including the title track which reached the top twenty of the Hot 100.

Kenny Rogers and The First Edition, sometimes billed as The First Edition, was an eclectic rock band whose styles ranged from rock and roll to R&B, folk, and country. Its core members were Kenny Rogers (lead vocals and bass guitar), Mickey Jones (drums and percussion) and Terry Williams (guitar and vocals). The band formed in 1967, with folk musician Mike Settle (guitar and backing vocals) and the operatically-trained Thelma Camacho (lead vocals) completing the lineup.
As the 1960s counterculture was heating up, The First Edition signed with Reprise Records in the summer of 1967 and had its first big hit in early 1968 with the pop-psychedelic single "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" (US No. 5). After only one more chart hit, "But You Know I Love You" (US No. 19), the group, newly billed as "Kenny Rogers and the First Edition", once again hit the top ten, this time in the summer of 1969 with the topical "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" (US No. 6, UK No.2).
For the next six years, First Edition bounced between country rock, pop and psychedelic rock, enjoying worldwide success. By the mid 1970s, frontman Kenny Rogers would embark on a solo music career, becoming one of the top-selling country artists of all time.
