I was just goofing around and thought what the heck and see what I could find regarding this group. I to use to see them back in the middle 60's and I recall this was a huge hit for them. I saw them as I recall from Duncanville or somewhere like that at a former airplane hanger where a bunch of us teenagers used to watch bands play. I heard the band went to California and started playing religious songs. Maybe some one could verify that.
Actually Southwest F.O.B. broke up. The lead singer and guitar player became "England Dan & John Ford Coley" Then Dan went on to have a Country carrer as Dan Seals............. By the way... Dans brother is the Seals of "Seals & Kroft".
Zeke and Ovid (and I think Doc) get together every now and again and play/record some still.
Speaking of Z, he still plays in the Dallas area, and some of the bands he's in (Joy Urchins, Cheap Fast & Easy) play a cover of smell of incense live oftentimes.
Thank you for posting this, Brings back so many great memories of attending their concerts. R.I.P. Danny - 2009 (lead singer).

Bass line at the start of the song is a strong nod to The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride", don'tcha think?
