Collective Soul - taken from a line in Ayn Rand's book - The
Fountainhead, were formed in the small town of Stockbridge in the early
90s by principal songwriter Ed Roland (lead vocals/keyboards/guitars),
guitarists Dean Roland and Joel Kosche, and rhythm section Will Turpin
(bass/percussion) and Shane Evans (drums/percussion). In September
2001, 7even Year Itch: Collective Soul's Greatest Hits 1994-2001 was
released. In 2004, the group returned to their roots, bringing on new
guitar player Joel Kosche and releasing the stripped-down and dynamic
"Youth" CD on its own El Music Group imprint.
