The Sounds of Vietnam

[thedrifter]

The Rock and Roll war.....
To most Americans, the Vietnam War has a rock and roll soundtrack. Almost every novel, memoir or oral history of the war by a veteran mentions the music that the author listened to in Vietnam. All the songs of the '60s were part of the life in a combat zone. Troops listened to Sony radios, Akai stereos and Teac tape decks and new troops arrived weekly with the latest records from the states. Many of the sound clips below were recorded on a reel to reel recorder in Vietnam. They were then sent home and transferred to cassette. The sound quality is not the best but it sounded good to us back then.

Make Sure you stop in the Music of the Time......

Remember Country Joe and the Fish? "Whoopi! We're all gonna die!" I can't remember the actual name of the song but I can sing it for ya.
