This AOR for HD indulges in not only quality album rock from the late 60's and 70's, but also compatible album based music recorded within the last 25 years. The Vineyard is a "vibe" designed primarily for upper-demo early adopters of new technology that feel FM radio has forgotten its roots to be deep and explore.
