Prime Time Jukebox Episode 162: Album Archaeology 19 – There’s a Riot Goin’ On, Sly & The Family Stone

Prime Time Jukebox Episode 162 features the 1971 album, There’s a Riot Goin’ On by Sly & the Family Stone. With Sly Stone’s recent passing, we decided to go back and explore this landmark album.

Much like an archaeologist digs and hunts for gems, on Album Archaeology we dig deep into an album. We examine each of the tracks of this album looking at the music, lyrics, and stories behind this album.

Tune in to the premiere of Prime Time Jukebox Episode 162: Album Archaeology 19 – There’s a Riot Goin’ On, Sly & The Family Stone on YouTube on Monday 6/16/25 at 8pm ET.
