Listen "There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textReleased in 1971, There’s a Riot Goin’ On captured the disillusionment and unrest of the early ’70s with a raw, almost haunting intensity. Gone were the bright, infectious grooves of Sly’s earlier work; in their place was a murky, introspective sound that blended funk, soul, and rock with a striking sense of urgency and realism. It’s a record that challenges listeners, diving into themes of disillusionment, racial tension, and personal turmoil, all underscored by Sly Stone’s vision of a nation on the brink.Featured songs: Luv N' HaightJust Like A BabyFamily AffairTimeSpaced CowboyYou Caught Me Smilin’
