Al Perkins Music - The Seventies

The Seventies

The Seventies saw the rise of what was to become known as Country Rock, and I was fortunate to be a member of some of the groundbreaking bands of the time, including Shiloh, The Souther Hillman Furay Band, the Flying Burrito Brothers and the eclectic Manassas, fronted by Stephen Stills.

I hope you enjoy seeing some of these photos from that enjoyable and creative period of music! (Click on the photos to enlarge)
