already recording for Raven Records
in Danville and suggested that manager John Cook (the bassist’s dad)
talk to Frank Koger, who owned and
operated the small recording studio
on the Piney Forest Road. Cook met
with Koger and the band traveled to
Danville in 1967 to commit two
songs to wax: “A Secret of Mine” b/
w “Minds Expressway.”
By all accounts, John Cook was a
savvy businessman. He was a salesman for Caterpillar and taught the
boys how to publicize and promote
their shows and dances, how to collect fees, and even how to dress, although the dark green checked suits

Calfee and Conley were the
group’s two guitarists but were forced
to make some last minute adjustments just prior to the recording session. Three months before they cut
their first record, lead vocalist Jimmy
Johnson quit for no apparent reason.
About the same time, keyboard
player Charlie Bassett married and
left the band to attend engineering
school. Rather than add a new member, the guitarists simply split the
keyboard duties, although Calfee
bought Bassett’s Acetone organ and
plays keys and sings lead on all four

Calfee explains that “if you dropped
a live mic inside with lots of reverb
and delay, then banged on the can it
created quite a bizarre sound.” The
Fool had just painted Cream’s guitars in psychedelic colors, so Conley
and Calfee did the same with their
guitar and organ.
While national success eluded
them, Calfee believes that was probably a good thing, adding, “If we had

I doubt seriously if any of us would

learned the song was a favorite on the
club scene and that their first 45 was
selling for huge sums in England.
Two of the group’s songs were recently reissued on compact disc
(Aliens, Psychos & Wild Things, Vol.

Calfee has yet to capitalize on the new
audience and has received no
songwriting royalties. While Calfee
is “amazed” by the band’s resurgence
in popularity, Cook recognized their
potential. Shortly before his death,
he told Calfee: “We never realized
how good we were and what a great
opportunity we had.” And while he
won’t rule out a reunion, Calfee says
it hasn’t happened yet and believes
things worked out for the best, adding, “We were just trying to make

In 1968, Candi launched into her

Unfortunately, Southern Soul fell

We just had the opportunity to hear Summertime
over the July 4th holiday, four hours down the road from
a four-hour gig they did earlier in the day! That’s eight
hours on stage, with a four-hour ‘break’ driving the band
and equipment to the Spanish Galleon in North Myrtle
Beach, where it took in excess of another 1-2 hours to
set up and get the sound checks finished in time for the
next show.
And they knocked it out of the park!
If you’ve missed them so far, catch them July 14th at

he acquired “Reverend” status.
If you don’t know the difference between a soul
singer and a soulful singer, check out Bubba D.
Liverance. (Listen for this: a soul singer sings songs
by black artists -- a soulful singer makes you hurt,
laugh, cry, sigh, or feel like you’re gonna die when
he sings).
Soulful singers can sing simple things like that
and make statues weep while May Day celebrants
When a man breaks the heart of the woman who holds
him in her heart--witholding the adoration she deserves,
the friendship she desires, and the unrestricted love which
should adorn her day and night--he’s left with few choices.
He can stand on stage and sorrowfully sing an old
Mississippi Blues, which she’ll find pathetic.
Or he can admit his errors, suck up his pride, cover it
in humility, and offer his heart to her to a good Shag beat.
That’s the way Reverend Bubba D. Liverance does it,
singing for all of us from that secret place inside where
honesty and remorse struggle to strike a balance.
It’s that place at the core of compassion, where
heartbreak knocks strong men to their knees and only
soulsingers and souldancers can rise from the ashes with
their heads held high and ask sincerely for one more
chance. That’s where you’ll find the Rev....
