I wasn't much familiar with the Daredevils, but my wife had very fond memories of this album, so I was happy to pick it up on Amazon. Several tunes I recalled from radio play back in the day (aside from the omnipresent Jackie Blue), but with one difference - the vocals on some tunes seem buried in the mix. It's especially noticeable on the rockin' Look Away, where the predominant feature is the rhythm section. Maybe it's my aging ears - has anyone else noticed this?

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - just say the name, and what springs to mind? Why, Jackie Blue, of course. But, this band was so much more than just a one hit wonder. The Daredevils, who were originally from Springfield, Missouri, had a very eclectic sound, which this album really shows off. Everything is here from the rocky Look Away, to the bluesy It Couldn't Be Better, to the bluegrass It'll Shine When It Shines.
I must say that I really like this album, much more than I ever thought I would. When I am at work, I pop this album into my computer, and listen to it for hours. I especially like Jackie Blue (well, of course) and It'll Shine When It Shines. This is a great album, one that I really never get tired of. I really like this album and highly recommend it!

I first heard of the Ozark Moutain Daredevils in the 70's when my Brother purchased the Album It'll SHine When It Shines throu a record club he was in, I took an instant liking to the band and for years after that we would play this album whenever we got together, however as time went on and our families came along the album was tucked away in a cupboard and forgotten about untill recently when we held a family get together and yes you've guessed it out came the Ozarks although it was a bit scratched after all the playing it had been given in the earlier years, this sent me on a mission to try and source the album on CD which I am please to say I found through Amazon.com. I purchased two CD's from Amazon and presented one to my Brother just after Christmas 2007, I now sit at home some nights and listen in my opinion to one of the best Country/Rock bands ever.

I have been looking for this album for years. It was a favourite of mine and my husband's long before we were married (23 years ago last Saturday!) I was told at a music store here that it was out of print and couldn't be ordered, so was thrilled to find it on Amazon. It sounds as good today as it did all those years ago!

I bought this album back in, well, I don't remember when, but it was a very long time ago. Since it was vinyl, it has been sitting in a box in my closet for the better part of 30 years.
I have wanted to listen to it on numerous occasions since then. Unfortunately everything, including my music, is now on CD and "It'll Shine" was not available on CD. In order to listen to it, I would have had to pull out my old turntable, find a place to put the turntable in my current audio system, and hook it up. A real pain in the arse. So, the album stayed where it was, in the closet.
As soon as I saw "It'll Shine When It Shines" was available on CD, I bought it. Oh, the joy!! Nearly brought tears to my eyes. By the end of the first song, "You Made it Right", I was back in full Daredevil mode. "Jackie Blue", arguably their most recoginizable commercial hit, was as pure and purty as ever. Such memories!
If you like you country with a pinch of Bluegrass, a helpin of folk, and a big dollip of rock, you can't go wrong with this album. If I could give it 10 stars I would!
