Although their only album failed to achieve success, it later gained acclaim for being considered the earliest work to reference "psychedelic" in its title.
The member, Rusty Evans (born Marcus Uzilevsky, 1937, New York City, died December 5, 2015, Woodacre, California),[3] was the Deep's lead guitarist, primary songwriter, and a vocalist.
Evans initially recorded in 1958 as a rockabilly singer, before performing as a Greenwich Village folk musician in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
They secured arrangements with the Philadelphia-based Cameo-Parkway label, the home for fellow protopunk act Question Mark and the Mysterians, for a meager budget of $1200.
As its title suggests, Psychedelic Psoul is composed of psychedelic-influenced tracks as the band continued to develop past concepts from their debut album.
Evans recorded sporadically until his death, usually in the style of folk or rockabilly music,[4] and in the 1990s released two new age CDs, Slice of Light and Gypsy Dreams, credited as Uzca.
