Collective Soul

This platinum-selling rock band Collective Soul, based out of Georgia, actually had a hit before they had a confirmed band. They gained international fame with their 1993 rock anthem “Shine” and have recently released their ninth album. In this episode, leader Ed Roland reveals the story of his journey to be a songwriter and how a twist of fate led this band to the top of the charts.
