‘Their Hearts Had Six Strings‘ - Volumes One through Six

This is a collection of compilations put together by the Musicophilia mix blog, exploring

“singer-songwriter” music made during the late 60s and early 1970s. The mixes were first

issued in April, 2010 (Vol. 1 & 2), November, 2013 (Vol. 3 & 4), and August, 2017 (Vol. 5 &

6). Amazingly, the majority of this music remains in print and is available for purchase,

and so we ask that you please support the artists that made this wonderful art and the

labels that keep it in print by purchasing all that you can. Musicophilia makes no claim

of ownership of the rights to any of this music, and makes no money of any kind from the

blog: the purpose is to spread the love of music, and get people excited to go out and

explore--and fund--this music. For more mixes and collections of both popular and less

popular music, especially focusing on the 1970s and 80s, (funk, post-punk, library music,

new wave, art rock, electronic music, folk, jazz, and especially the myriad and global

intersections of all of these), please visit Musicophilia at musicophilia.wordpress.com and
