1. That's What You Do When You Do What You Do
There's a song by the Swinging Medallions called "Double Shot of My Baby's Love" and the writer talks about his romantic tryst with a girl and how it affected him. Her "lovin" made him turn flips, shout out loud, and finally made him pass out in her front yard. I wrote "That's What You Do" in the same mold. I especially like that, in this song, her "lovin" has him "speaking in tongues".

2. Ain't No American Idol
Sure, there are some good singers on American Idol, but you would think with all their resources, the final 10 or 20 would all be great singers, and that's just not the case. I personally know a dozen amateur singers that could have easily won in almost any year except the first season (I must give props to Kelly Clarkson, like her or not, she can sing). This song is my initiation of a backlash against American Idol the TV show.

3. I'm Fixin' To
In most parts of the country you'll hear people say, "I'm preparing to..", "I'm about to....", or maybe "I'm getting ready to..." But in the South, they say "I'm Fixin' To". Never heard it in a song before, so I thought I'd use it.

4. If You Can't Shag (Get Your Ass Out of Carolina)
I'm a big fan of 60's R&B and Carolina Beach music. Eddie Bailey, of the band The Fabulous Expressions and a former member of the Swinging Medallions, told me his wife taught 8th grade in Greenville, SC, and as part of the required "South Carolina State History" course, each 8th grader had to learn to "Shag" since it is the official State Dance. We were laughing about it especially when Eddie said "If you can't shag, you can't graduate from 8th grade". I thought that was funny and decided to take it a step further in this song.

5. 'Mo Better This Time
Again, just my affection for 60's Soul and R&B, I wanted to write a fun song that made you feel good, like riding around in a convertible on the first day of spring. There's a company that sells a million varieties of hot sauce named "Mo Hotta, Mo Betta", so I ripped them off a little.

6. The Jody Grind
When soldiers are marching or running long distances in formation, the Drill Sergeants help keep their minds occupied by singing songs. Often the Drill Sergeant sings a line and the formation answers back. One of the most popular subjects is to sing about Jody. Jody's the guy back home who is hitting on your girlfriend, driving your Cadillac, took your old job, considered to be a weasel, and intentionally avoided serving his country in the Armed Forces. I'm a patriot and very proud of all those who serve or have served.

8. When They Open Up the Pearly Gates
If you want to hear some great music, next time you're driving around in the South on a Sunday morning, turn your radio to a gospel station. I love that hand clapping, foot stomping, hair raising music and decided to contribute.

9. Let The Eagle Fly
Most college football games have great pre-game programs pumping up the crowds. Auburn University is no exception. Even though they are the Auburn Tigers, their battle cry is "War Eagle" (long story, not enough space). And, prior to the start of each home game, a trained Eagle is released who flies around the stadium several times and then dive-bombs toward the school logo on the 50 yard line. This song will only be significant to Auburn fans.

11. My Baby's A Seafood Platter
Folks that vacation along the gulf coast know of an infamous club, the Florabama, which is located right on the Florida/Alabama state line. One of the extraordinarily talented singer/songwriter/entertainers that regularly performed there was Rusty McHugh, and Seafood Platter was one of my favorites written by Rusty.

12. Happy Hour
I was in a country mood one day and accidentally wrote this song. I love the story, but I especially like the symmetry of the song i.e. "happy hour.our happiness". If George Jones calls me, and asks real nice, I might let him cover it.

Auburn Fans
Welcome all you Auburn Tiger fans and War Eagle!
War Eagle! It's obvious I'm an Auburn Tiger football fan and I feel one of the most impressive pre-game activities in the country occurs when Auburn releases an eagle to fly around the stadium then dive bombs to the logo in the center of the football field.
I wanted to write a song that captured the spirit of Auburn and pay homage to this War Eagle tradition.
100% of the proceeds received from the sale and download of "Let The Eagle Fly" will be donated to Auburn's Raptor Center to help continue our beloved tradition. ~ War Eagle! Bubba D.
Roy Crowe, an eagle consultant for Auburn University, has an excellent educational book for children titled "Have you Seen My Bird ?". Check it out at www.haveyouseenmybird.com

The band and I have been recording our new album
Just a quick shout out about SOS Spring Safari this year. I had way more fun than a man should be allowed to have. Great to see the old friends and great to meet a lot of new ones. If you’ve never been, you owe it to yourself to visit for a week long party and meet about 20 thousand new best friends!
If you've never been, you're missing out!
I’m heading to N. Myrtle Beach this week for Spring Safari SOS for a little week-long party with about 15 or 20 thousand of my closest friends. I’ll be appearing at Boom Boom’s on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for a series of record release parties. It will be the first time performing our new single “Sweet Potato Pie” live, along with some more new songs. Here’s hoping I can remember the lyrics?
This is my annual pilgrimage to get my fix of Carolina Beach Music, R&B, and Soul, get a plate of the world’s best seafood over in Calabash, and to break in my new shaggin’ shoes! See ya there.
-Rev. Bubba
Finally we've released our new single "Sweet Potato Pie"
and have serviced it to radio and mobile DJ’s. This is just a start, because we have plans to release several more singles over the course of the next 6 to 9 months leading up to the full album release.
At the request of many fans, we plan to release the first six songs on an EP in the next few weeks (mid-May '12) and will be title "The Recession Sessions". A lot more is to come……………Rev. Bubba
Hey y'all,
you all know about "best laid plans"
and how they don't always work out exactly right. There have been a few delays on the single release, but most issues have been resolved and we should be ready to rock 'n roll real soon.
Most of you know that I’m not much into “self-promotion” and usually just rely on the music to speak for itself, however (you know there’s trouble when someone throws in a “however”), we’ve got an agenda with this album and part of the deal is me getting actively involved in it’s promotion. So, I’ll apologize now because you’re going to be hearing a lot from me over the next few months.
Of course, you’ll get emails, facebook posts, tweets, and a variety of other methods, all bragging about how great our music is, how terrific our stage show is, how you need to go out and buy everything in sight when it comes to us, and maybe about how sexy I am? (I like that last part!) It’s all a plan to build a story about this album with the current audiences, and then begin a national promotional campaign later this year.
Hope to see you at a show real soon! Meanwhile, be cool!
Rev. Bubba

Rev. Bubba D Liverance & the Cornhole Prophets - All signed up
It was only ever a matter of time before the greatness of rock'n'roll soul survivors Rev Bubba D. Liverance and the Cornhole Prophets was recognized. And now it's happened. These hard livin', fun lovin', good rockin' sons of Alabama have signed to Sony Music Group's Red Music distribution group. The Sony subsidiary will distribute the band's incendiary game-changer of an album - last year's 'Let My Peoples Dance'. The album has since been re-titled as 'Didn't We Love and, with a bunch of new tunes and the clout of the global label behind them, it surely won't be long before this 8-piece horn band are household names. The album was nominated for 'Group Album of the Year' by the Carolina Beach Music Academy, while the past two years has also seen the Cornhole Prophets release a trio of top ten singles on Cashbox Magazine's charts. With three more singles due to come out simultaneously, Red Music is targeting three radio formats: AC, Country and College. And the infectious good time sounds of this uniquely talented band - now with a quality distribution network behind it - mean that it should be successful in all three markets. In its live shows, the band always gives its audience its money's worth. That live energy is communicated in its recorded music. And after signing this deal, Rev. Bubba D. Liverance and the Cornhole Prophets are ready to take that experience to a far wider audience. Watch out world, there's some new Prophets in town.
Rev. Bubba D. Liverance & the Cornhole Prophets - Three in one
Fresh from signing a game-changing deal with Sony Music's Red distribution group, Rev. Bubba D Liverance and the Cornhole Prophets have taken the unusual step of releasing a trio of singles at the same time, targeting three different markets. It's an unusual step by a band that has always eschewed doing things the regular way. But then, that's exactly how this Alabama 8-piece horn band with a penchant for rock'n'roll, soul, country and everything in between, have carved out a name for themselves. The Cornhole Prophets are a band that has always aimed at a broad cross-section of music lovers, and the release of three very different records at once is testament to their ability to cross genres and appeal to people across the generations. New song 'Cold Budweiser' is a rockin' blues stomper aimed squarely at the country radio audience. It is a Bruce Springsteen style anthem for all the hard working blue collar guys (and gals) who just want to kick back after a long day with a cold one and some old-time blues. 'My Baby's a Seafood Platter', released, like 'Cold Budweiser' on April 5, is a jump-jive swinging dancefloor filler with a cheeky line in innuendo-laced lyricism. It's been directed at the college radio market and is sure to have many a student jumping out their chairs and grabbing their partner for a spin on the tiles. 'Didn't We Love', aimed at adult contemporary radio, shows a more contemplative side to the Cornhole Prophets from their normal hard rocking sound. It still rocks, but demonstrates that the band doesn't have to go at 100mph to make an impact. All three songs are classics of their kind. And all three are yet more evidence that Rev Bubba D and his band of good ol' rock'n'roll survivors have a long future ahead of them.
KC Online Soundbites July 2008
Upon seeing the distinctive name of Alabama’s own RBDL & TCP (ok, maybe acronyms don’t always work…) this reviewer felt a little quiver go down his critical little spine. Band names can run the gambit from pompous (U2) to goofy (Flock of Seagulls…what was that about, anyway?) to legendary (AC freakin’ DC!), but some names just take the proverbial cake and the Rev. has done that in spades.

Beatwire.com Press Release June 2008
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.
Billboard Publicity Wire, June 2008
Auburn, AL May 20, 2008 -- Hailing from Auburn, Alabama and whipping up a storm anywhere they take to a stage, Rev. Bubba D. Liverance & the Cornhole Prophets are here to preach the good word of real music.
