No, they weren't Jewish. They actually took their name from the recording studio they were in, the House of David. In any case, their 1968 track "A Long Way Back Home" serves up a nice slice of psych.
This time, we present a double shot of soul (just because we can). The first act is Al Glover and Gloria, a seasoned duo from Eastern Virginia. "Til the End of Time" is one of the few songs they saved to vinyl. It's a soulful, laid-back track from 1972.
Our second shot is a lo-fi ballad by Reginald C from 1969. "Take What You Want But Leave a Little Bit" sounds like it was recorded in someone's bedroom, but there's a lot of soul that comes through in the vocals nonetheless.
We finish with "Roses, Roses," by I.D. Mitchell and the Amalgamated Taxi Service. This Arkansas group wrote their war protest song shortly after some of the band members became eligible for the draft!
