"Was so pleasantly surprized by this new CD, not that Im not a OMD fan just because I am, and enjoyed their 70s music so much that I didnt want to be disappointed and I shurly was not. the OMD where one of the reasons I took up learning how to play guitar in the early 70s..and Now Im pickin to their 13 album (oops..CD) songs along with the greats...It'll shine when it shines. I had to even go internet hunting to see if I could find any concert footage of them...and sure did..a 1979 Canada concert (the Forum presents "Ozark Mountain Daredevils) it has "it'll Shine ..." on it even (what a treat..too)..not the best video footage but sound great for a 20+ year old second (or so) generation re-recording VHS. They even played here in my home town of Batesville Arkansas..Aug of 2002. Fellow OMD ers..go the their site (www.ozarkdaredevils.com)for re issues of 70 albums on CD..and email A&M records for a reissue of the "Shine" album to CD sense it was planinum they wont let another label reissue it.
check out Michael Supe Granda's site also, for solo etc stuff of his. I want to keep these good old boys going for as long as possiable...so if you can find them a gig...emaiL their manager
(check their site) And no folks I dont work for them...just a fan.Mike"

It just goes to show you...........

"that there is no justice way too aften in the music biz. Somebody in the biz ought to promote the hell out of this fantastic CD! When great bands that sold a boatload of records re-unite years later and decide to "do it their way" (i.e., produce it theirselves) and it turns out great, it should be backed and supported. But too many music execs have their head up their .........All of the Ozarks are at their best here (unfortunately, still missing from action is the great Randy Chowning----whose contributions on the band's first 3 albums are masterpieces). John Dillon's "Dream-O", "Over Again", "Tear In the Rain" are, as always, fun and beautiful. Larry Lee is back with a tour de force in "Where Are We" and a fine song (do they write bad ones?)cowritten with Steve Cash called "If It's True". The irrepressible "Supe" Granda stands out with "Standing On the Corner of Live & Learn". Steve Cash is at his funky best with "Bad Road" & "New York". And the rest.....well....yada, yada, yada, kudos, kudos. It's all great!! Timeless-melodic-folk-rock-country-bluegrass-rockabilly-swamp music. Music from the heartland. Hills, pastures, streams, and dive bars. Music from earth. One of the truly great and unique bands of all time. It doesn't get any better than this folks."

Best Daredevils' album to date!!!

"There are so many good songs on this CD. From "Standin' on the Corner of Live and Learn," to "Tear in the Rain," every song is a masterpiece. There isn't a song on this disk that I don't like.
Not only is this a new Daredevil album but it also features former member Larry Lee! He wrote 2 songs on the album and sings on (he does backup vocals on "Love is Calling.").
This is a wonderful collection of music. A MUST HAVE to any Daredevil fan!"
