The Faith Healers – Camera Psyche Soul Head – Orange Vinyl
The Faith Healers are partially responsible for changing my entire world of music appreciation. Original, loud, fun, punk, rock and roll at its purest form. You can read more about our meeting and time here.
This orange slab of vinyl was and is a prized piece of my library. While I lost my original copy, luckily I found a fan out there probably as much of a fanatic as myself who was kind enough to send me this copy a few years ago. Thanks Phillip.
All six tracks were live staples and one song, “Black Elks Bones” made in onto a CMJ new artists issue and disc. (I’m pretty sure this is the song but I could be mistaken). My favorite song is Batman/Jesus. Such a great strange and trippy song full of power.
Wade Ogle, lead singer and guitar is still releasing music and owns a record store in Fayetteville. He recently added some classic Faith Healers and Dali Automatic songs to his Bandcamp page. I’m not sure what Brian (bass) or Paul (drums) are up to. After the Faith Healers, they formed Dali Automatic and added Dave on guitar. As a 3 piece they were amazing but with the addition of Dave they were full on fucking amazing. Great memories of going to their shows, attending practice, hanging out, getting into mischief and life long friendships.
I have recently reconnected with Dave, the amazing, blazin’ guitar player and hope he will add some of his thoughts and memories to this. Some of my recollections are probably a little off too and perhaps he can help straighten those out. Dave was the Faith Healers roadie and then became the guitar player for Dali Automatic……right?
