    050 - Lost Souls, Vol. 3

    Fifty episodes of Garage/Soul '66! Hard to believe we're still going strong, and still have lots more vintage psych, rock, soul and pop to share with you. To celebrate, we're marking another important occasion -- the release of Lost Souls, Vol. 3 by Psych of the South. This compilation digs even deeper into the Arkansas music scene of the late 1960's, unearthing rare acetates, rehearsal recordings, reel-to-reel tapes, as well as some tunes that actually made it to vinyl. We start with the first track on the CD. Richard Vanover and Bob Ralph perform their original 1968 composition, "I Can See Your Ways." We then move to a classic. The Culls (like many other bands before and after them) performed "Suzie Q." This recording, though, doesn't come from a studio, but rather a rehearsal held in the drummers basement! (We may have to rethink that term "garage band"...) And we also have a movie-related track from Billy Cole and the Fouke Monsters. Their release "The Fouke Monster" was written to promote The Legend of Boggy Creek.The Fouke Monster was sort of a Big Foot-style creature sighted around Fouke, Arkansas. Really. Barbara Stants takes the Soul Spotlight with a song about sisters doing it.. to their men. "I'm Gonna Outfit You Baby" tells it exactly as it is. A welcome dose of sassy funk from Miss Stants.

    047 - Group Nine and Urban 44

    We start the show with the Morning Disaster. This band wrote (and recorded) songs that were a cut above the run-of-the-mill garage band. For some reason, though, the tapes of their 1967 recording session were never released -- until Arcania International got hold of them, that is. From that legendary session we play their original tune "Urban 44." Longtime listeners know our theme and background music is "Days of s Quiet Sun" by Wilson Castle. But it's not the only version of the tune. Group Nine first recorded the song, and as you'll hear it's very different then the later Wilson Castle track. The Soul Duo take the Soul Spotlight with a cautionary tale, "This is Your Day." In this song the duo take the roles of a good woman and triflin' man. Fine mid-sixties soul. As a group, the Woo Too Country Band didn't last a year, but they managed to accumulate a large following in both Arkansas and Missouri. Their track "Only Going Up the Road" is as gritty as they come, and help explain the band's popularity. Remember, you don't need an iPod (or even an iPhone) to enjoy this podcast.

    044 - Wilson Castle and Thunder Forest

    We start the show with a mid-60's track recorded in Johnson City, TN. The Kool Kuzzins were actually a family band composed of two brothers and a cousin. And actually, all three were pretty cool. The next track, "Party" comes from Washington DC-based Wilson Castle. Recorded in 1969, it sums up the closing era of peace and love (with a nod to John Lennon). Not bad for a group of teenagers. Front and center in the Soul Spotlight this time is something of a mystery band. We don't know a lot about Zeke and the Soul Setters, save that they were based in Richmond, VA. Nevertheless, they produced a great lo-fi instrumental, and we have it. "Make My Love a Hurtin' Thing." We finish with a group of young youngsters. If the lead singer of the Electric Sunshine sounds a little like Donny Osmond back in the day, there's a reason -- he's only nine years old. In fact, that was the average age of the entire band when they recorded their tracks in the 1960's. Now that's remarkable! Remember -- you don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast.
