Ozark Mountain Daredevils

This is a bit of a repost.


A while ago, in my slowly expanding world of blogging, I posted a link to a song by the Ozarks.


We started listening to them in the mid-70s while riding on the old camp bus, Thomas.  Someone had a cassette tape (remember those?) of It'll Shine When It Shines.  


Riding on that bus, we sang along and memorized just about all the words to each song. It'll Shine was released in 1974 and was the OMD's best album. You can buy it now on iTunes.



Earlier, I posted a song from a live show they did Dec. 12, 1977 in Lee Furr's Studios in Tucson, Arizona in front of a live audience for FM broadcast. It's a bootleg, meaning it was never released commercially.


Click on this Rapidshare link for a full download (Zip file) of the show. Then click on "slow download" and enjoy. The sound is great and the band is tight.


The band is semi-retired now, but still do the occasional show. They play Aug. 18, 2011 at 8:30 p.m. at the Havelock Country Jamboree in Havelock, Ont. For tickets and information go to the Jamboree's web site.
