Title: Johnny Rivers – Johnny Rivers Rocks The Folk
Year/Genre: 1965, Pop Rock
Matrix #: LP-12293
Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

1. Cut during the mid-’60s folk-to-rock pivot, when “folk” material was getting electrified for AM radio and teen clubs.

2. Produced by Lou Adler, a key LA power player who bridged the Sunset Strip scene to mainstream pop (and later launched major singer-songwriter careers).

3. Rivers was a Whisky a Go Go regular—part of the same LA circuit that fed acts like The Byrds and early West Coast rock crowds.

4. If you like Bob Dylan-era covers, The Byrds, Barry McGuire, or The Animals’ folk-rock moment, this fits that lane.
