In our heads, we were at one point, we were thinking, we’re gonna re-record the whole first record. Atlantic Records just kind of put their stamp on the independent release, because “Shine” was so big. I remember us being really excited about people wanting to hear what we could do, if we actually got to record an album. I remember, it was self titled, because of how the first record was put together. Since I mentioned 1995, that was the time of the Collective Soul album, What do you remember about that album? It was a big album.
We have fun hanging out together at casual events. The band is our hub, it always has been and that’s what brought us together. I just think growing up together and having that bond, my entire memory I’ve known who Ed and Dean Roland were, and they’ve been my brothers for now, the last 27 years.ĭo you think that you’d still be friends, even if there wasn’t a band? My grandfather was superintendent of schools, and then their father was the Minister at the big Southern Baptist Church. I think their father knew my great grandfather, he was Postmaster General of Henry County. My grandfather knew their father and both families were in that county for a long time. What makes this relationship so strong and powerful? But one thing that definitely hasn’t changed is the core of this band has always been Ed, Dean and yourself. After 30 years and countless hits, the band has comfortably found a niche for themselves as a unit that makes nostalgic music with a cutting edge vibe, giving them the ability to have a recognizable sound with the option of twisting things up just enough to make it exciting.īassist Will Turpin sat down and talked music, bootleg recordings and family.
