028 - Mystic Illusion and the Wrong Crowd

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.

027 -Now It's Time for the Clown Suit

The Wild Cherries kick things off with their mid-sixties track "I Cried Once," a song about love gone wrong. We continue the theme with the Del-Fi's from Washington, D.C. Their track "Now It's Time" has a different point of view -- the leaver rather than the leavee.

Terry Sinclair returns to the Soul Spotlight with a 1964 song, "Clown Suit." An outstanding low-fi groove going on in the background of this one.

And we close with the Sole Society with their frantic fuzzed out regional classic, "Psychedelic Cycle." Far out!
