Ozark Mountain Daredevil

[The Grand Wazoo]

OK guys, so I've got an unexplainable urge to buy an album by The Ozark Mtn Daredevils - I don't know why, but I think it's time I found out what they sound like.

Can anyone recommend an album?

........Beechy - your cuppa tea??
........John?

.............help!

They sound like they should be cool given the Ozark Mountain is in the Appalachians and I love old Appalachian folk music...

You should download and check out Spotify. It has a stack of their stuff on it to check out.

They ain't old Appalachian country They are 'southern fried rock' whatever that is. Think The Eagles, America, Lynyrd Skynyrd...

I like Appalachian folk music too and even a bit of Southern rock every now and then but cannot help you out Chris Sorry
I say read as many reviews and then go for the one you like!!
Lets us know how it works out; it might be something I be interested in the future I check them out when I get home tonight no speakers on work computer

Yes, apparently it's a common misconception. I've heard them described as rock with country inflections. So, I'll perhaps have a crack at one album & report back. Watch this space (but not too hard........).

Rock with country inflections does it, Chris

I might have a Southern rock themed night maybe a quick listen to Tuesday Gone by LS followed by Blackfoot Highway Song
Neil Young has some intersting views about Southern Men

John, while you're listening to that LS album, give "Gimmee Two Steps" a listen too!

Funnily enough I had a bit of a session with Southern rock at the weekend - 'Second Helping' by LS, 'Bustin' Out' by Pure Prairie League and Rossington Collins Band 'Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere' - maybe that's where I subconsiously got the notion about the Ozark Mtn Daredevils from.........

Hi Mr Wazoo,Have dug out 3lps.

Have just listened to them as not played for a long time.

They are not country,well not my country anyway.

The first one IT,LL SHINE WHEN IT SHINES.this has more country intruments than other 2lps and best of the 3 for me, made 1974. some tracks quite laid back sound.

2nd THE CAR OVER THE LAKE ALBUM more mainstream has saxaphone on some tracks,more harmonies.

3rd MEN FROM EARTH even more mainstream even more harmonies and sax. The harmonies get on my nerves after a couple of tracks. This one has my favourit photo cover two farmers.

If you want more countryish try NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND better for me than ozarks.
or for the best country rock try HANK WILLIAMS JUNIOR
or more bluesy try ROCKIN JIMMY and the brothers of the Night

Happy listening richard

[The Grand Wazoo]

Thank Richard,
Actually, I'd decided I was going to try the debut or THE CAR OVER THE LAKE ALBUM (maybe both).

I'll report back after a while............

Happy listening richard

The only one I have is,'By The Light Of The Moon' and would highly recommend it.

The funky,'Little Rachel',is a top track.
