Lost Souls Volume 3
Now on iTunes !!!
This compilation digs deeper than ever before into the vault of obscure Arkansas rock 'n' roll from the 1960s and early 70s. Lost Souls Volume 3 includes uncomped and unknown gems from small regional studios in the form of acetates, 45s, and recently discovered reel to reel tapes. The sounds heard here include garage and psychedelic rock combined with rockabilly, soul, and even country thrown into the mix that is distinctly Arkansas. This compilation comes as the result of years of research and findings from the original bands and label owners. Many of these tracks were recorded live by the groups at shows and rehearsals or live in the studio at places like at Rimrock in Concord, AR, Joe Keene's in Kennett, MO, Joe Lee's Variety Studio in Jonesboro, and Earl Fox's E&M studio in Little Rock to name a few. This CD offers a glimpse into the past. If you were going to a local American Legion building to hear the latest sounds from local bands in the 1960s in Arkansas then this is what you would have heard. The songs were done by real people, not a major recording studios, professional studio musicians, or major label executives directing the groups. The artifacts that remain are dusty photos, records, and reel to reel tapes that have survived for over 40 years in personal collections. Through the research of compiler, Harold Ott, the stories of the bands are told and friends from decades past are reunited to celebrate their contributions to the world of garage rock and psychedelia.

RAYBURN
Rayburn was an amazing hard rock band from Little Rock, Arkansas that formed in 1970 and played in a moody and technical style with inventive songwriting. Their unreleased recordings are must for fans of underground psych and prog sounds. They recorded for Mega Records, an RCA records subsidiary, and got signed to the label. However their success was cut short when Steve Stephen's father, who was co-owner of one of the biggest investment banks in the country, went to the label and bought Rayburn's recording contract out from under them in order to derail his son's music career. Over the next two years, the band recorded at Jaggars Studio in Little Rock and for Steve Cropper's TMI studio in Memphis, but the band's second chance at fame continued to elude them. In 1974, guitarist Jimmy Roberts' life was cut short when he developed cancer at the age of 21. Three years later in 1977, the band reunited to record more songs from their early 70s era that they never got a chance to record with Roberts. For the first time in over 30 years, Rayburn reunited for a live concert in their hometown of Little Rock, AR in July of 2009. With the help of the band member's musical children, the 2009 version of Rayburn was a tribute and reboot of the original group with the meeting of two generations to celebrate the music of the past. At the concert, their reel to reel demos from 1972-1977 were released on CD, featuring a full color 12 page book compiled and researched by Harold Ott. This was a supremely talented group that was gone too fast and held back from the world. With this release, Psych of the South attempts to correct that injustice with a CD of 14 of Rayburn's original compositions heard here for the first time.

This film focuses on the 60s garage band, The Lost Souls of Jacksonville, Arkansas. Through interviews and research into local newspapers and personal collections, newly found photographs and memorabilia are recovered from 40 years of obscurity.
The Lost Souls were a four-piece combo: Fil Griggs on guitar and vocals, Mike Petray on lead guitar and vocals, Danny Goldman on drums, and Mike Corbin on bass. The group formed in May of 1966. The band developed a large following in the Jacksonville area and were booked into Wayne Raney’s Recording Studio in Concord, Arkansas on November of 1966 to cut their sole 45 rpm record Lost Love/My Girl on Raney’s Leopard Records.
The record received airplay on local mega watt AM station KAAY and sold well in the area. The Lost Souls also did an opening song for James Brown at Barton Colosseum in the summer of 1967, but soon after the group was no more. With their discovery and documentation in this film, both sides of the record were rereleased by Harold Ott’s record label, Psych of the South on a compilation CD titled Lost Souls: Garage and Psychedelic Rock from Arkansas 1965-1971, earning a whole new audience of fans for a record made over 40 years ago.
