The Lost Souls

The Shed Souls under no circumstances released any records, the meager recorded evidence that survives indicates that these were among the finest unfamiliar American sets of the mid-’60s, in a position to write both catchy Uk Invasion-type rockers and, within their latter times, experimental psychedelic pieces with unusual tempo changes and song structures. The music group were also uncommon in their periodic embellishment of the normal period guitar-bass-drums lineup with flute, sax, and mandolin. Although well-known within their Cleveland hometown, they split up in 1968 to wait college. Tempo guitarist Dennis Carleton, who had written and sang a few of their best materials, continued to briefly sign up for the Choir, their key (and more lucrative) competitors. He also performed in several unusual local bands within the ’70s (including Moses, Dairy, as well as the Pagans), in addition to releasing solo materials by himself label within the ’80s that ranged from direct pop to almost experimental. A cassette-only compilation of unreleased Shed Souls tapes made an appearance on Carleton’s Green Light label in 1983.
