Product Description:
Originally released on the Columbia label in 1980, the self-titled "Ozark Mountain Daredevils" is another part of the ongoing reissue series of the group's works by New Era. Now after many years of being out of print but in demand, this title is available on CD for the first time as a U.S. release. By the time this album was recorded The Daredevils had undergone some personnel changes ; however, four of the original members remained. For the first time in their history the writing skills of Larry Lee, Steve Cash, and John Dillon were used in collaboration, resulting in six songs by them on this album. With the changes in popular music at the beginning of the decade, and the label wanting an aggressively produced, more Pop/Rock sound from The Daredevils, several additional studio musicians and back-up singers were used. This album features a fuller, more electric sound than the group's earlier recordings. Like all of The Daredevils self-styled, rootsy material, this album has withstood the test of time and offers the same listener appeal as the group's work always has. This album reissue by the Springfield, Missouri-based label New Era Productions, is in conjunction with Sony BMG Music Custom Marketing Group. It includes the entire 1980 package art, photos and lyrics. All 10 tracks have been digitally re-mastered from the Original Master Tapes, producing a sound quality never heard before. With the reissue of this classic album on CD the fans, old and new, will have a chance to enjoy what has made The Ozark Mountain Daredevils one of America's most original and enduring bands.

No doubt the Daredevils thought their signing with Columbia was the start of a shining new phase of their career. It might have turned out that way if Columbia had allowed them to be themselves. According to the (rather sparse) liner notes on the Cd, Columbia wanted a different sound from the band. Gone were the fiddles, banjos,and, yes, the spirit of the previous albums on A&M. Instead, we hear a curious mix of the Daredevils familiar vocal phrasings and decidely un-daredevilsish, slick commercial ... Read More

I agree with what some of the reviewers said, it's different than other OMD recordings, in that they were trying to add a more "commercial" sound. Not one really memorable song on here. I usually love at least 3 or 4 songs per CD. Not any that bring me back here.

OMD took a shoot of new music, everyone writing down to four. Broke away from country and did more Pop rock than counry. I play this CD more than any in their catalog. Great songs that stick in your head. Beware of some of the live CD's they are poor quality, this one was a class A studio CD.I recommend this one for people who like the group America, this one reminds me of that style of music.

This great album shared the same destiny with Poco's equally superb "Under The Gun" (1980). Changing musical business trends together with the great divide between "country" and "rock" listeners dropped both albums from both main genres. Too rock for rednecks, too country for rock radio - and so on. Stupid but true, and also a problem for The Dirt Band, The Outlaws, the whole bunch. Country rock kind of died around 1980 - afterwards people talked about "alt. country" or "alt. rock"...

This album was originally released in 1980. Glad to see it finally available again, on CD. It was evolutionary for the band and was tagged their "rock 'n roll" album. My favorites: "Take you Tonight", "Fool's Gold", "Tuff Luck".
It mixes quite nicely with the music from their "Quilt" (First) album. If you like Ozark's music, buy this one. You won't be disappointed.
