EPYSODE 52: "The Nest" by Jeannie Piersol. Guests: Jeannie Piersol, Alec Palao. Additional commentary by: Uncle Herff. Here we explore the story behind "The Nest", a 2025 release showcasing the mesmerizing recordings of Jeannie Piersol, a once-overlooked voice from the late '60s Bay Area scene. While never released as a full album at the time, these tracks — produced during a brief but creatively rich period, have been carefully compiled and reissued for the first time. We're joined by Jeannie Piersol herself, along with music historian Alec Palao, for an exclusive conversation about the music’s origins, the vibrant scene that shaped it, and the process of curating "The Nest" nearly six decades later. Discover how these long-shelved recordings finally found their moment, and why it's being hailed as a hidden gem of psychedelic soul and folk-pop history. I hope you dig "The Nest" 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=== Buy Jeannie's album, as well as other great releases from High Moon Records here: https://highmoonrecords.com Here's an article I wrote for Psychedelic Scene: https://psychedelicscene.com/2025/09/12/vinyl-relics-the-nest-by-jeannie-piersol/   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify):  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/109b3seP8CQhyPEy3OiiC8?si=8ed49d9fe10d4c8e THE RISING STORM "I'm Coming Home" JEFFERSON AIRPLANE "Chauffeur Blues" THE GREAT SOCIETY “Someone To Love” *THE GREAT SOCIETY “White Rabbit" MINNIE RIPERTON "Lovin’ You" SAGITARRIUS "Gladys" JEANNIE PIERSOL "The Nest" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Joined In Space" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Gladys" YELLOW BRICK ROAD "Quivering" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Everyone Needs Love" HAIR "Shot Me Through" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Your Sweet Inner Self" Hair "Gladys" (demo) JEANNIE PIERSOL " Mr. Bright Eyes" JEANNIE PIERSOL "Heading For The Sun" JEANNIE PIERSOL "With Your Love" YELLOW BRICK ROAD "Light Sinking Down" ??MYSTERY ARTIST??

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
