One of the best bands out of Richmond, VA kick off this episode of the Garage/Soul '66 podcast. Wilson Castle had strong songwriting skills and a mature sound. For some reason though, their tracks were never released (well, until Arcania International came along that is). This episode they perform a heartfelt ballad, "The Greatest Moment," which might owe  a little of its sound to the Byrds. Sometimes "rare" doesn't begin to describe the music Arcania International rescues from the past. The Psychotrons' "Death is a Dream" is the lone 45 rpm put out by the group. There are only three copies of this 45 known to exist -- and Arcania International had access to one of them. And so we share this single shot of psych with you. The Soul Spotlight shines on Blue-Eyed Soul. Not the term, but the group of the same name. This integrated ensemble had a tough time getting gigs in the south, but when they took to the stage, they really delivered. "Are You Ready for This?" Are you ready indeed for Blue-Eyed Soul! We finish with the Woo Too Country Band and their version of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Whatever you think this song will sound like -- you're likely to be wrong. The band strips this old song down to its essence and reassembles it as a raw-sounding rocker. Remember, you don't need an iPod (or even an iPhone) to enjoy this podcast.
