Bud Carroll has been around, and he's been around as long as most considering the 25 year old started playing in bars at 12. Then, just as he was wanting to drop out of college, a band called American Minor offered him a sweet gig. Then they landed on a sweet major label (Jive Records) and played all over the US, Canada, and England for three years. He toured with the Black Crowes, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Allman Bros., Drive By Truckers, and even David Lee Roth. Then, as usually happens with major label deals, they were dropped, broke up, and Bud came home to Huntington, to regroup, refill, replinish, and then returned to the music scene armed with the Southern Souls, a power trio born out of the ZZ Top and Gov't Mule tradition, but not limited too southern rock per se. More like Appalachain Soul Music. That's what they would call it if they were here. Jimmy Lykens plays bass, and he's from Boone County, which makes his soul pure. Steve Barker plays drums, and he's from Boone County, but we aren't sure if his soul is pure or not. Jon Cavendish is the newest member of the Southern Souls, atleast until we lose our new brother to Nashville. Bud Carroll's soul is definatley pure, and he puts it on display for all to see, nightly. Blues, Funk, Jazz, Gospel, Dirty Rock and Roll, Elvis Costello...that's what they are into and that's what they sound like, sometimes. Other times they sound different...you should go and see what they sound like, you just might like it....alot.
