. Four very gifted musicians and songwriters first formed in Huntsville in the early 60s. The band consisted of two sets of brothers, Mike and Kenny Webber and Vannie and Dannie Warren. Like a lot of bands back then, they were heavily influenced by the British Invasion sound of The Beatles. They began to perfect their sound by performing Beatle's songs and eventually changed their name from ‘The So…But So What’ to 'Revolver' based on the 1966 Beatles' album of the same name. They could pretty well do any Beatles' song and sounded enough like the Beatles to fool the most avid listener. While they became known for their Beatles' shows, they also perfomed rock standards and a lot of original material written by the various band members. Their first single was issued while the group was using ‘The So…But So What’ name. Their other singles were issued under their ‘Revolver’ name. All four members continue to perform with various bands and occasionally reunite to do Beatle shows at various locations around Birmingham and Huntsville. 'Revolver' will be appearing on Saturday, May 1 at 10:30 am, so be sure to make plans to see them.

That’s a good one. I’m ask around at our next meeting to see if any of our members can help you. I encourage you to attend our show. We’re sold out of dealer space and will have the best selection of albums/45s/CDs we’ve had in years. BTW some of our local dealers will see your comment and will contact you if they have the album.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to comment. We wish all of our visitors would leave us comments to let us know how we can help them.
Vinyl collector for 30+ yrs. Went to my 1st ARCA last year and will be back again this week with some vinyl junkie friends from the Northwest part of Alabama..We are stoked!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words! I wish you had commemted on the most recent post so more would see it. :) I think you'll love the show this year - we have a hard sell out of dealer space - should be the largest inventory we've had in years.
ReplyDeleteLoved the So...But So What! I was one of Kenny's childhood g/f's. We were 14 yrs old. I remember how great they did Purple Haze. A song Kenny wrote called I Will Cry was a great song. He was really young when he wrote that. Mike wrote the flip side of the record. I think it was called Clear and Bright. Really beautiful songs. They deserve a lot of credit. They even went to California and were on a music show called Happening '68 or something. They played Respect by Aretha Franklin. Such a fabulous band! Miss them so much! I was very proud of them. Still are!
