Rev. Bubba is the self proclaimed "Right Reverend of Rock and Soul" and after listening to the debut disc he and his band have recently released I tend to agree with the good reverend. Hailing from Alabama he and his 9 piece band have put together a 12 track compilation of original songs called Let My Peoples Dance. The disc can only be described as pure musical enjoyment.Let My Peoples Dance is a collection of songs that remind you of a time when music was more about integrity and enjoyment, not the quick, short lived commercial push of today's flawed music industry standards. Most of the songs on this disc were co written by Bubba and his lead guitarist Mr. Sam Hankins and all of them are catchy enough that you'll be singing along in no time.
All 9 members in the band are accomplished musicians and they all seem to follow in Rev Bubba's quest to just have fun in what they do and share that feeling with their fans. The different musical influences like soul, gospel, R&B, rock and even country are all present and along with the usual guitars, drums and keyboards they have a full horn section which helps give the entire disc a retro feel. I enjoyed all the songs but a couple standouts for me would be "If You Can't Shag, Mo Better" and "Pearly Gates."
In the end I highly recommend this disc to anybody who likes music at all. Rev Bubba & The Cornhole Prophets just have an honest sound that's very appealing, singable and just about anybody can dance to it, except me, I never could dance.
