016 - Roaches and Group Therapy

In this episode we feature another great track from the Lost Souls, the namesake for Psych of the South's outstanding reissue series.

We also hear from soul artist Bernard Smith with his 1968 song of social commentary, "Man Without a People."

Also on the show is another mystery band (they came, they recorded, they disappeared), the Roaches. And we finish with a family band -- Ray, Debbie and Gayle Daughtrey take center stage as Groop Therapy with their 1967 track "Ronnie, Ronnie."

015 - Cherry Road and Gooseberry Pie

This episode we feature two more mystery bands from the 1960's -- groups that showed up at a studio, cut some killer tracks, then disappeared into the mists of time. The Plague layed down some pretty heavy sounds on their session for "Cherry Pie." The Red Coats Revue, Inc. turn in a track of vintage East Coast beach soul with "Keep on Tryin'" a song maxed out the meters more than once, as you'll hear.

We also include a song by the Lost Souls, the group that lent their name to the Psych of the South's line of Arkansas garage/psych reissue CD compilations.

And we conclude with unstoppable musical force of Dean Kohler in rare form performing "Gooseberry Pie."
