004 – Don’t Be Afraid of the Barefacts

Garage/Soul 66 Podcast #004 -Don't Be Afraid of the Barefacts

"Don't Be Afraid" is the song recorded in 1966 by the Psychodelic Psymphony for a movie that's even more obscure then the group! But that's still more than we know about the Barefacts. This northeastern Arkansas group came into the KOSE studios, recorded one song, and vanished without a trace.

For balance, we also play a 1964 track by the Satellites, fronted by Dean Kohler. Kohler was a major regional musician in Virginia, and is still an active performer. Barbara Stant was another prominent performer. We play her soulful ballad "My Mind Holds On To Yesterday."

003 - The Baco Walk and The Problems of Tyme

Garage/Soul 66 Podcast #003 - The Baco Walk and The Problems of Tyme

Ricky and the Impressionables turn up the heat with the Baco Walk. When Arcania International reissued this 45 rpm, they put Part 1 on one CD, and Part 2 on the following volume. In this episode we put both tracks back together, and play them back-to-back -- just the way you would have heard it if you were lucky enough to own the original platter.

We round out the show with another hard-driving track from Virginia's Swinging Machine, and an unknown band from Arkansas, the Problems of Tyme.
