Rev. Bubba D Liverance to release new album today

Rev. Bubba D Liverance says that the album he has made with the good honest folk who form his band, The Cornhole Prophets, is “just for fun.” Well, the music may well be fun, but don’t let Bubba fool you, because this is one band who know exactly what they are doing.

Hailing from Auburn, Alabama, Bubba and his boys play the sort of music you sometimes wish everyone would make: Good honest rock and roll soul, with both heart and a sense of humour. The horns are as funky as anything James Brown could ever dream up, the guitars wail away like the best Stax records of yesteryear, while Bubba sings his heart out just like a good ‘ol southern boy should.

Put all these together and make them as tight as a band can be, and you’ve got music that will get everyone out of their seat and on to that dancefloor. It is no surprise, therefore, that the album should be called Let My Peoples Dance. The Cornhole Prophets are all about bringing the people’s music back to the people and making it fun.

Although the album will no doubt be enjoyed by people in homes, cars and headphones everywhere it is played, The Cornhole Prophets are above all a live experience. The feeling of playing to the audience, bouncing back off a frenzied crowd of converts and just getting funky is what informs this record. It is what makes us feel so fresh and alive.

Listen to the raw soul power of the title track or That’s What You Do, the dry comedy of My Baby Is A Seafood Platter or the appeal to real, honest music that is Ain’t No American Idol and you’ll know that Bubba and his band are as far away from the tasteless modern pop band as you can get.

This is a band that thinks music should be real, should be live and should reach people. They haven’t got a message, other than enjoy yourself and let your feet do the talking. You can call the music rock and roll, funk, soul, rhythm & blues, or even country. But whatever it is, it sure is a whole lot of fun.

Give Bubba a whirl and get those toes tapping.

Let My Peoples Dance is available to buy from June 2 2008. www.revbubbaband.com
