028 - Mystic Illusion and the Wrong Crowd

02/26/11 • -1 min

A mixed bag on this edition of the podcast. We start with the Perpetuated Spirits of Turpentine. The title of their song is almost as long as the group name -- "The Girl With The Sandy Blonde Hair." Far out!
The Smacks were big in the Washington, DC area, and for good reason. One of the two friends that started the group lived in Virginia, the other in Maryland. Their song Reckless Ways is a corker from 1966. Our Soul Spotlight shines Prince George, a regional heavyweight from the Portsmouth, Virginia area. And we finish with the another psychedelic gem from Arkansas, "Colour of My Days" by the Mystic Illusion.

Next Episode

029 - Bummed Out For All You've Been

The show starts off with the Satellites, a short-lived band from Norfolk, VA. The draft cut the life of the group short, but not the career of lead guitarist Dean Kohler. He went on to form another group during his tour in Vietnam! (We'll feature some recordings from that group in a future episode).
The Smacks return with another rocking cut from their 1966 45rpm. Lenis Guess is back in the Soul Spotlight with his very first recording from 1964, "For All You've Been."
And we finish up with Blackfoot, which grew out of the Sole Society (who we featured on a previous episode) and their track "Bummed Out."
One thing that may bum you out -- the disc they're featured on, Lost Souls, Vol. 1 - Garage and Psychedelic Rock n' Roll from Arkansas is just about sold out. And it's not likely to be back in print any time soon. If you're digging this music, the time to purchase is now.
