Thank you for hitting this! Jackie Blue is their best known hit, and is very different from this one, so needs to be next. But I ga-ron-tee that their song Chicken Train will put a smile on your face, for multiple reasons! (And Chicken Train would be great to share with the girls, too!)
If you grew up in the 80s, OMD stood for Orchestral Maneurvers in the Dark. But if you grew up in the 70s, OMD stood for Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Same initials, but you couldn't get much more different in terms of style! This OMD is from the great town of Springfield, Missourah!
Not only drank well water but growing up in Kentucky I even dug a couple! Got stationed in Kansas City in 1973 and saw OMD, REO, Head East, Black Oak Arkansas and Brewer and Shipley almost monthly.
Their follow-up album, The Car Over the Lake Album was my first real taste of the band. Have loved them ever since. I was years later when I realized that they did Jackie Blue as well. Still feel a bit silly about that one.
I grew up listening to Ozark Mountain Daredevils. I am beyond happy that you guys have found them. I just drove down to the Florida Keys and was listening to this on my way.
My dad was a harmonica player☺️I grew up listening to him play “country-n-western swing” from the 60’s all through the 70’s and into the 80’s until his health started becoming a factor and he had to slow it down some 😏 He picked up a harmonica at the beginning of the 30’s when he was 6yrs. old and the time he was 10 he was playing for crowds down on the square 30yrs. before I was even born! He was a “natural.” I had this 45 growing up 😆 I used to play it all the time 😗 Thanks 🙏 for the memories ✌️🫶
Hey Family, Thanks for the ❤️ My dad would’ve appreciated it very much 🙏He passed away back in ‘14😇 He would’ve been 97 next month. You know he once had a chance to play on the Grand Olé Opry back in the 40’s but blew it off cause he he had something else to do 😳 I used to kid him about that telling him that he would be a country music legend by now and he’d just shrug and say “Well son I just do it for the fun of it 😊✌️🫶
Hey guys, real quick, I made a slight miscalculation on my dad’s age 🫢🤭 He would actually have been 98 come May 7th 🥳 The 5th would’ve been him and Mama’s 73rd wedding 💒 anniversary😳🤣 They’re both celebrating with the angels 👼 now 😍😇😌 She would’ve been 92 Sept.27th. They got got married in 1950. He was 25, she was 18. I came along 14yrs. later after they had 4 girls 😂!!
So cool. My mom played harmonica around the house from the time I was little. She was my influence to get into music. My first LP was "Meet the Beatles" in 1964. I was four.
@@robertcussins2807 When I “finally”got serious about learning to play guitar 🎸 when I was 15,I went to the record store and bought “The Beatles 1962-66 and learned every song on it 😁 I’d yet to discover barre chords so I it was “baby steps” at first 😆 but I pressed on 🤨 I quickly realized just how gifted they were with the ability to take “simple chords” and make something magical 🧙♂️ out of it 😳 It was long about that time just a week before my birthday that John Lennon was so “coldly” shot down and killed 😞 As soon as I heard the news I went upstairs to my bedroom and put that record on and proceeded to play along with it crying at times during the process all through that evening. I just remember thinking what a terrible waste of God given talent and trying to understand why something like that would happen to someone like him. But thankfully his legacy still lives on 🙌✌️🫶
Personally I think this song is much better than "Jackie Blue". Jackie Blue was just the one chosen for radio play. The whole album this reaction came from is excellent, with other songs like, "Beauty in the River", "Standing on a Rock", "Road to Glory"., "Within Without" and "Colorado Song".
My uncle was good friends with Randle Chowning original band member. I went to many of their concerts and babysat his daughter. I have signed albums still love these guys.
AT LAST! These are my hometown boys! Jackie Blue was the big hit but I love Country Girl and It’ll Shine When It Shines. That killer harmonica is the late great Steve Cash! Perfect hillbilly rock n roll.
The band is from Springfield MO where I live. They still do occasional concerts here. They are a great band. They put on a great show and are a really nice , down to earth bunch of guys.
If you wanna Go to heaven and not go to hell, You trust Jesus and in him alone for him dying on the cross for you PERSONAL that's all he asks of each of us, Its Heaven or Hell for real .when you know that all your sins are for given past present and future when you trust Jesus and him only will he save you from Hell. I have a huge amount of peace, and so can you God bless and enjoy the best news you will ever hear.
We had well water at the farm in Texas and our summer mountain home in New Mexico. At the cabin at 9,000ft, as a kid running around the mountain, we could safely drink from the clear mountain streams. Freshest water on earth. Falling as rain or snow through the pines and aspins, then filtered through the rocky, sandy soil...spilling down the narrow mountain streams, beginning a journey eventually to the sea
Cool instruments and Southern Rock, check out Marshall Tucker Band - I Heard It In A Love Song. ❤ Lots beautiful piano and flute. That flute at the beginning is off the charts. 😂
I’m 73..this was a great time to graduate high school and spread my wings. I grew up on a farm, very sheltered life. I discovered rock n roll and fell in love with festivals which I still attend. No damp sleeping bags or indulge in the hard stuff but still love the music. As a high school teacher I introduced a whole generation to 70s rock n roll. I was the old white dancing granny in drop out prevention program. Absolutely loved my career which I entered at 50. I had a little too much fun early on, took me a long time to finish college😂 Nothing better than well water. My niece comes by my house to fill gallon jugs of my water to take back to college with her.
Finally!!!!! Now try "Standing on a Rock", "The Fox", "Moon on the Rise", "Homemade Wine", "Beauty in the River", "Arroyo", "EE Lawson", and "Chicken Train" (for best Harmonica ever) for starters. I owned EVERY SINGLE ALBUM that this band released. I can only say that about two other bands. The Beatles and Judas Priest. Edit to add more favorites: "Black Sky", "Backroads", "You Know Like I Know", "It Probably Always Will, " and Walkin' Down the Road". Cripes. I'm getting to the point to where I should just say close your eyes and randomly pick ANY tune by the awesome, awesome band. Man this reaction got me so excited I had to do something I only do a couple times a year. Light up a doobie before watching it.
That was how I always listen to the Daredevils, I agree with all your song but you forgot one (it even has horns) Keep On Churnin'. I too own all there albums do you have there 2018 album "Off The Beaten Path" ? It's a good listen for OMD fans,
@@kennethgestewitz6322 Keep on Churnin' till the cows come home. It is like a cross between Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and an Appalachian barn dance. It was on the "Car Over the Lake" Album I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. I also highly, highly recommend; "Black Sky", "The Fox", "Backroads", "You know Like I Know", "It Probably always Will", and "Walkin Down the Road". Didn't know they cut an album in 2018. Holy crap, that is forty years later. Original members?
@@Wasted_Talent007 It was on Car Over Lake. one of my favorites that I commented on is "It"ll Shine When It Shines" I have always loved the vibe of that song and great advice "just wait" life is to short to be in a rush all the time stop & smell the roses as they say.
Yeah!! We saw the Ozark Mtn Daredevils in so many small venues and theatres, they were a must-see concert when they toured in the '70's. Their bassist, 'Supe' was on a recent episode of The Wheel of Fortune!
"JJ Cale, Bringin it back from Mexico" that's some southern groove for you. He is the guy that wrote, "cocaine"( huge Eric Clapton hit) & "Call me the breeze" (Skynyrd)
I was born and raised a country boy and dipping from grandma's well was the best thing in the world...water never tasted so good! I am super excited that y'all are digging on that old country rock! Rock on!
We were in middle school and one of my classmates was humming with his head on the desk. The teacher made him stand up and sing what he was humming. It was " Jackie Blue." Their best song and a wonderful memory.
This group was basically just a bunch of good old boys from Springfield, MO. A friend of mine said they used to all live in a big house there and would occasionally just have front porch jam sessions. I saw them at the Lawrence Opera House in Kansas back in the day and it was just a crazy party.
Now you're in my neck of the woods. Born and raised in Missouri... and the Ozarks. I was raised on southern rock and OMD's albums blasted throughout our house. A Lot of their music has some degree of harmonica in them. Love it, Love it! Songs to try: first is "Standin' on the Rock" (Harmonica Driven); "Black Sky" (Harmonica); "Walkin' Down the Road"; "Beauty in the River" ; "Country Girl"; "Chicken Train" (a very unique song); if you want more commercial and country rock, try "Jackie Blue"
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been requesting this one for a long time. I knew you'd just love that harmonica. Check out their other big hit Jackie Blue!
My favorite Steve Cash harmonica is on Black Sky. BTW, if you didn’t see it, they just recorded Jackie Blue with Molly Healey on vocals instead of Ruell Chappell who has been singing it in their live shows after Larry Lee quit performing with them.
Amber and J, you have made me so happy for reacting to this song!! I am sure you have had plenty of people suggest this band and this song, but I am pleased to know that I am one of them! You made me so very happy!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
FINALLY I have suggested these guys several times. Live footage from the Old Grey Whistle Stop is must see. Standing On A Rock, Chicken Train, Beauty In The River and It'll Shine When It Shines are my favorite tracks
I lived in Pierce City, 25 miles from Springfield, MO, from '69 'til '77... a friend introduced me to the music of the Daredevils, & I've seen them twice in concert- once in Springfield, once in Kansas City, MO; the friend's wife was friends with the harmonica player's (Steve Cash) wife & introduced me. Her dad ran the local movie theater Also, the band's members lived in & around the local area, so I consider them 'homeboys'!
If you ever got to see them in person every song sounded exactly like the LP. I even got to hang out with them out back before the concert. They were so cool in person. Pure genuine good ol boys. Thanks for playing this one
You guys make us smile too!! I discovered this channel about six months ago and immediately was addicted! Hope you guys keep doing what you’re doing 💜💜💜
Oddly enough, I first heard this song in the assistant principal's office when I was in middle school. The assistant principal was a young guy (I would say late 20's/early 30's but no older). He had his radio on when I went in. The first thing I heard was that harmonica. I remarked that that was a cool song, we started talking about music and he completely forgot that he was supposed to paddle me LOL. I have always loved this song ever since. I knew you guys would love it!
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils were signed by A&M records because they wanted to have a group on their label like The Eagles, who were becoming really big at the time. OMD never became as big as The Eagles, but they were really good and had a fair amount of success for a while. Their biggest hit was a song called "Jackie Blue" and other songs like "Country Girl" and "You Made It Right" also did very well. Another great song from them is called "Leatherwood."
I grew up near their farm north of Springfield, Mo, where they honed their craft. some friends of mine would go into the woods and listen to them play all night long. Those are some great childhood memories. In 2004 I saw them play at a an event held on a farm north of Carthage Mo. It was fall and by the time they took to the stage which was a buckboard with a stage extension on the front, the temp had dropped to the mid 50's and it started to drizzle. Some people left but you know I didn't leave. They started at 9pm they played till 11pm, took a 20 minute break, and played till 1am. It was one of the single most rememberable music events I have ever attended. Sometimes songs were separated by a quick note about what led them to write the song, other times, it was the main guy saying, "hears a song you have never heard before cause we ain't never played it for anyone", then the song would commence. Sorry for this long post, but one more piece of history for the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, one of their most famous songs could be Jackie Blue. There used to be a Denny's restaurant on Glenstone Avenue right of Hwy 44 in Springfield, Mo. The Ozark Mountain Daredevils recorded the sound track to Jackie Blue in the bathroom of that Denny's. They said the acoustics was perfect for that song. :0) The Ozark Mountain daredevils did their farewell tour within the last year or so. All the original members (except those that have passed) played and recorded together for 5+ decades. They are truly a southern music treasure that I am glad you guys gave a shout out to. Other Southern rock bands, The Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchett, Pure Prairie League would be a good start. I am sure I am missing someone. :0) Thanks for this! it was a good late night walk down memory lane! :0)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for finally doing an Ozark Mountain Daredevils reaction! I have listened to this band since their very first album in the early 70's and they have so many good songs. Please react to Jackie Blue, Homemade Wine, Walking Down the Road, Country Girl, Chicken Train, Within Without, Black Sky, Standin' On A Rcok. So many awesome songs if you want to go down the rabbit hole. Thanks again. Love you guys and yes Amber I have drank well water many times in my younger days. We had a well on our farm and there is nothing like cold well water!
I am amazed for you listening OMDD. The band had some more selling hits (in fact this one also, which is good), but I would love you to listen and react to these inspring and lovely songs (in my favorite order): 1) Spaceship Orion 2) Beauty In The River (These 1-2 we played and sung in our mother'äs funeral) 3. Colorado Song 4) It'll Shine When It Shines (from the album that has the same name) 5) Country Girl 6) What's Happened Along My Life 7) Kansas You Fooler 8) Gypsy Forest 9) Leatherwood 10) Journey to the Center of Your Heart 11) You Know Like I Know. RIP the harmonica player Steve Cash.
OK, you finally hit Ozark Mountain Daredevils, time for y'all to discover the greatness of Rory Gallagher. '70's Irish guitar god. According to lore, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jimi Hendrix was asked, “How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?” He is believed to have answered, “I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.” Bull Frog Blues and Shin Kicker are absolute tear the roof off rockers
Have they listened to Rory G before? Even if so, I don't think they've heard Bad Penny. Absolutely great kick-a$$ guitar work and lyrics. That one is on every play list I do. Soooo good!
I have a nice memory that stands out listening to this song as I drive over the bridge on Lake Tawakoni in East Texas circa 1972 with my 3 buddies to a camping trip.
Great Reaction! When Bluegrass meets Rock, you got Ozark.. their first hit from first album! "Standing On the Rock", "Chicken Train", "Beauty In the River", and "E.E. Lawson" are more awesome tunes..
Thanks for doin this. Old guy here. Well water guy here. Jay. Look to to your left. If you wanna find an Angel.. You gotta find it where it fell. Learned it . Livin it .. lovin it.
My grandmother had a well on her property. That was her only source of water. It was so cold and tasted so good! Jackie Blue is a must listen from this group. Find the longest version out there because the short version omits a whole verse!
I saw them at a concert in KC,Missouri in the 80s. It was The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, The Dirt Band, Riders of the Purple Sage and Pure.Prairie League. Great, great concert.
Outstanding! Just one hook after another. Love the whole vibe ever since I was a youngster. Not a wasted note, and it ends without the time to put the cherry on top … Bam!
This band is from Springfield Missouri, they are still on the road celebrating their 50 years together. They are my favorite all time American Band. I know it is co incidental, but this is the 2nd song, along with Blue Sky by The Allman Brothers, in the past couple of weeks,that I suggested to you guys well over a year ago.
Love the Ozarks, Spaceship Orion and It'll Shine when it shines are brilliant tracks. It was hard to get their albums in the UK we only managed to get one and the others were ordered by our local record store from the USA
Man, haven’t heard this song in for-EVER. This and “Jackie Blue” might be the only two songs I know of theirs. Both were all over the radio in the 70’s.
Wow you bring back such awesome memories of my early tween years!!! Love this one! Thanks so much. Love you guys!!! ❤❤❤. Well water and Spring water is what I grew up on too.... Nothing like it!!!! Did you all do Jim Dandy by Black Oak Arkansas... I lose track, don't know how you keep up!! ❤️❤️❤️
Besides Jackie Blue, give a listen to "Country Girl" from their debut album, "Look Away" and "You Made It Right", from their album, "It'll Shine When It Shines", and "Leatherwood" from their album, "The Car Over The Lake".
My sister used to live in a 200 year old farmhouse that was at the bottom of a mountain. She had a spring coming off the mountain that went into a holding tank in the basement. It was the best purest cold water I've ever had. This was a cool song too. Never heard it before.
This group has a classic sound 🔥 was one of our "theme songs" in h.s. 🥳 For a unique example of some of the pioneers of every bluegrass instrument, check out the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (and numerous legends) playing "Wabash Cannonball." 👍💕🔥
I love, Love, LOVE YOU TWO!!! In your grooves, diggin’ the vibes and literally watching you both feeling the music. Thank you cause it’s so much fun to watch. You 2 feel like a couple I would love to hang out with jamming to music, maybe getting tattoos. Even though you like the Bengals (I’m a Rams fan since ‘75 but was a Bengals fan in ‘73-‘74) you two are awesome in my book. Thanks. Keep on kicking ass and Rockin’ Out!!! Love ya both
Woo Hoo didn’t expect you guys would ever go down this hole but here we are and, Hot Damn!!! This is one of their two best known songs, the other was Jackie Blue, but certainly not their two best. They were not extremely commercial but had a huge very loyal following. As a result, their best songs weren’t the few that made the radio, but rather the album gems loved by their fans, which I’m sure you’ll hear about in Comments. Their ability to blend folk, rock and bluegrass was in my opinion unmatched. Everyone has their own “best” and there is no wrong answer. My “best” and favorite of theirs is Fly Away Home, with an almost gospel bluegrass feel, but you definitely want to also check out Standing On A Rock, Country Girl, Homemade Wine, Leatherwood, Black Sky and Chicken Train (my grandkids favorite). Was just listening to this CD today and whaddayaknow, you guys came through! Hallelujah (that’s in Fly Away Home a lot).
I forget how much I loved this band. Reminds me way back when we would go to our favorite bar and listen to this tune; a little high, a little drunk, and playin' the best foosball and pool of our lives.
The absolute cream of the crop, world-wide, came running in answer to Robbies’ call here. The joy I feel listening to and watching this is indescribable. And yes, my teenage years are represented in this. Have always Loved Robbie and always will. Thanks for this Seb. ❤
Harmonica player Steve Cash just passed away in 2019. The Daredevils still play around the MO area a couple times a year with remaining members John Dillon and Michael Granda. One of the main reasons the OMD didn't achieve greater acclaim was their love and desire to remain living in the country where they grew up near Nixa, MO. A couple of the members were already married and had kids, and they refused to continually be on tour and away from home for months at a time. In the '70s, the big rock bands were expected to tour most of the year, and live in Los Angeles to be recording in the studio when not on tour. The Daredevils refused to do either. KSHE radio in St Louis helped make the OMD regionally popular by regularly playing songs off the "Quilt Album" on FM radio. Love the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
WOW! KSHE Radio. Memories flooded back when I read that! I lived in St. Louis 72-74, and listened to KSHE, but my favorite was KADI, The Rock of St. Louis! OMD still sound as good today as they did back then!
I've loved this tune and have been singing it at family gatherings since 1978 -- my brother played guitar as did many cousins -- seeing an 8 year old boy singing "You gotta raise a little hell" must have been an interesting sight. They are very eclectic -- I like the tunes "Spaceship Orion", "Colorado Song," "Road to Glory," and "Within/Without." Similar to America a bit but unique for sure -- it's worth listening to their more complex side -- I can see both of you liking the tunes I named. All of these songs are on their self-titled debut (just like this song.). I dig the thoughtful way you all analyze all of these different genres and tunes. Thank you!
Pure Prairie League, Marshall Tucker, BTO, Ozark again (Jackie Blue), Firefall, Black Oak Arkansas, Molly Hatchet, CCR, Charlie Daniels Band, Doobies, Little River Band, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Steve Miller Band, James Gang to name a few. Takes me back to high school and college!
I had their albums. I lived on the top of Tom Sauk Mountain in Missouri. Played their music around a fire in the front yard. Cold Beer and No Neighbors!
A good friend of mine that I also worked with would whistle this tune. There have been times that I listened to that for an entire 8 hour shift. Never minded it at all. Great song.
My great grand parents in Mississippi had an old fashion well. My cousins and I use to fight over who would get to put the bucket down and crank it back up... My grand father told me about him and his brothers digging that well by hand when they were teenagers. There was an old aluminum ladle hanging on a nail by the well... We'd drink the water right out of the bucket with the ladle. It had the sweetest tasting water and it came out so nice and cold even in the summertime. I miss them and their old farm.
Jay would love that one. The guitar bit in the middle is fast, furious and wonderful. One of my husband's favorite tunes, he played it on 8-track in his car when we were dating. Ha.
Jackie Blue and Chicken Train. They are from Springfield, MO which we live an hour away from. We have seen them in concert several times. Let me tell you, they are fabulous in person.
Jay & Amber, their "Jackie Blue" was an even bigger hit!!
A.M. radio classic!
Love Jackie Blue ❤️
That’s a great suggestion 🙋🏻♀️
Yes it was. They were great live too.👍👍🤟🤟
It was! A Top 5 hit in 1975!
Thank you for hitting this!
Jackie Blue is their best known hit, and is very different from this one, so needs to be next. But I ga-ron-tee that their song Chicken Train will put a smile on your face, for multiple reasons! (And Chicken Train would be great to share with the girls, too!)
Yes!, the Rob Squad kids will absolutely love 'Chicken Train'.
Oh yeah! Chicken Train! I don't think K-SHE ever played anything as weird and fun in the 70s than Chicken Train.
Another vote for Chicken Train from another K-SHE listener.
yep love chicken train
Oh yes I forgot about chicken train. Our kids loved that song when they were young as do I.
If you grew up in the 80s, OMD stood for Orchestral Maneurvers in the Dark. But if you grew up in the 70s, OMD stood for Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Same initials, but you couldn't get much more different in terms of style! This OMD is from the great town of Springfield, Missourah!
Missouri, the 'Show me' state.! Always liked that saying.
Same hometown as Big Smith. th-cam.com/video/jVUgsJNAe2w/w-d-xo.html
Grew up in the area.😎 Much later, though. 90’s-2000’s.
Joplin is my favorite town. Been there several times and have never failed to have fun.
Not only drank well water but growing up in Kentucky I even dug a couple! Got stationed in Kansas City in 1973 and saw OMD, REO, Head East, Black Oak Arkansas and Brewer and Shipley almost monthly.
Love the old music you guys play..brings back the good ol days..you guys are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I totally agree, Jackie Blue is a song by The Ozark Mountain Daredevils you absolutely need to listen to

The Allman Brothers started southern rock at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. You must watch the music documentary Muscle Shoals.
The Colorado Song is awesome🔥🔥🔥
" It'll Shine When it Shines" and " You Made It Right " are two more Ozarks hidden gems. Almost a gospelish , Southern Rock.
Also from that same album "It Couldn't Be Better" and the lovely "Lowlands."
I love Colorado Song and Mountain Range - two of their best slower songs.
@Randy Gibson On their first album, Colorado Song was absolutely my favorite. The other "best" song on that album was Road To Glory.
I haven't heard this song in decades. I had forgotten just how damn catchy it is. Good choice.
Southern Fried Rock. Green Grass and High Tides by The Outlaws. Jay man will love this one. Mort
A band called TROOPER released a rocker hit in 1978 titled "RAISE A LITTLE HELL."
One of my favorites! Check out their live version of chicken train!
I saw OMD last night. So much fun and the music was awesome.
LOVE IT when I see Amber grooving on her southern roots and really feeling the music
This takes me back to when I was a young man! I've tried to take their advice! Love what y'all do!
Two of my favorite OMD songs are ‘Colorado Song’ and ‘Spaceship Orion’.
Personally I think this song is much better than "Jackie Blue". Jackie Blue was just the one chosen for radio play. The whole album this reaction came from is excellent, with other songs like, "Beauty in the River", "Standing on a Rock", "Road to Glory"., "Within Without" and "Colorado Song".
My uncle was good friends with Randle Chowning original band member. I went to many of their concerts and babysat his daughter. I have signed albums still love these guys.
AT LAST! These are my hometown boys! Jackie Blue was the big hit but I love Country Girl and It’ll Shine When It Shines. That killer harmonica is the late great Steve Cash! Perfect hillbilly rock n roll.
The band is from Springfield MO where I live. They still do occasional concerts here. They are a great band. They put on a great show and are a really nice , down to earth bunch of guys.
Yay! Their song "Jackie Blue" has a different feel, but great showcase of singing in falsetto.

We had well water at the farm in Texas and our summer mountain home in New Mexico. At the cabin at 9,000ft, as a kid running around the mountain, we could safely drink from the clear mountain streams. Freshest water on earth. Falling as rain or snow through the pines and aspins, then filtered through the rocky, sandy soil...spilling down the narrow mountain streams, beginning a journey eventually to the sea

Lots beautiful piano and flute. That flute at the beginning is off the charts. 😂
I’m 73..this was a great time to graduate high school and spread my wings. I grew up on a farm, very sheltered life. I discovered rock n roll and fell in love with festivals which I still attend. No damp sleeping bags or indulge in the hard stuff but still love the music.
As a high school teacher I introduced a whole generation to 70s rock n roll. I was the old white dancing granny in drop out prevention program. Absolutely loved my career which I entered at 50. I had a little too much fun early on, took me a long time to finish college😂
Nothing better than well water. My niece comes by my house to fill gallon jugs of my water to take back to college with her.
I've been requesting this one for over a year. Glad ya'll finally pulled this one out.
Finally!!!!! Now try "Standing on a Rock", "The Fox", "Moon on the Rise", "Homemade Wine", "Beauty in the River", "Arroyo", "EE Lawson", and "Chicken Train" (for best Harmonica ever) for starters. I owned EVERY SINGLE ALBUM that this band released. I can only say that about two other bands. The Beatles and Judas Priest.
Edit to add more favorites: "Black Sky", "Backroads", "You Know Like I Know", "It Probably Always Will, " and Walkin' Down the Road". Cripes. I'm getting to the point to where I should just say close your eyes and randomly pick ANY tune by the awesome, awesome band.
Man this reaction got me so excited I had to do something I only do a couple times a year. Light up a doobie before watching it.
YES
Well except for the Doobie- I’m allergic
That was how I always listen to the Daredevils, I agree with all your song but you forgot one (it even has horns) Keep On Churnin'. I too own all there albums do you have there 2018 album "Off The Beaten Path" ? It's a good listen for OMD fans,
@@kennethgestewitz6322 Keep on Churnin' till the cows come home. It is like a cross between Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and an Appalachian barn dance. It was on the "Car Over the Lake" Album I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I also highly, highly recommend; "Black Sky", "The Fox", "Backroads", "You know Like I Know", "It Probably always Will", and "Walkin Down the Road".
Didn't know they cut an album in 2018. Holy crap, that is forty years later. Original members?
@@Wasted_Talent007 It was on Car Over Lake. one of my favorites that I commented on is "It"ll Shine When It Shines" I have always loved the vibe of that song and great advice "just wait" life is to short to be in a rush all the time stop & smell the roses as they say.
wow. i totally forgot about this group. my college roommate and i used to listen to this album back in the 1970s. cool song.
Yeah!! We saw the Ozark Mtn Daredevils in so many small venues and theatres, they were a must-see concert when they toured in the '70's. Their bassist, 'Supe' was on a recent episode of The Wheel of Fortune!
"JJ Cale, Bringin it back from Mexico" that's some southern groove for you. He is the guy that wrote, "cocaine"( huge Eric Clapton hit) & "Call me the breeze" (Skynyrd)
He's also from Tulsa Oklahoma like they are.
I was born and raised a country boy and dipping from grandma's well was the best thing in the world...water never tasted so good! I am super excited that y'all are digging on that old country rock! Rock on!
We were in middle school and one of my classmates was humming with his head on the desk. The teacher made him stand up and sing what he was humming. It was " Jackie Blue." Their best song and a wonderful memory.
So cute ! 🥰
How was the singing?
JB was their bigger hit, but this one was always my favorite.
Thanks for hitting this I had forgotten how much I liked this band. And now I have to learn to the vocals to this one 😁
Awesome. I loved this group and song as a teenager
This group was basically just a bunch of good old boys from Springfield, MO. A friend of mine said they used to all live in a big house there and would occasionally just have front porch jam sessions. I saw them at the Lawrence Opera House in Kansas back in the day and it was just a crazy party.
I’m 71 and STILL dance to this
Right on!
Now you're in my neck of the woods. Born and raised in Missouri... and the Ozarks. I was raised on southern rock and OMD's albums blasted throughout our house. A Lot of their music has some degree of harmonica in them. Love it, Love it! Songs to try: first is "Standin' on the Rock" (Harmonica Driven); "Black Sky" (Harmonica); "Walkin' Down the Road"; "Beauty in the River" ; "Country Girl"; "Chicken Train" (a very unique song); if you want more commercial and country rock, try "Jackie Blue"
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been requesting this one for a long time. I knew you'd just love that harmonica. Check out their other big hit Jackie Blue!
My favorite Steve Cash harmonica is on Black Sky. BTW, if you didn’t see it, they just recorded Jackie Blue with Molly Healey on vocals instead of Ruell Chappell who has been singing it in their live shows after Larry Lee quit performing with them.
I smiled the whole way thru this reaction! Thank you for loving this classic! 😎💗🌷
Amber and J, you have made me so happy for reacting to this song!! I am sure you have had plenty of people suggest this band and this song, but I am pleased to know that I am one of them! You made me so very happy!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Wow here's a Country Rock band I haven't heard in ages, great tune. And a bit of truth.
FINALLY I have suggested these guys several times. Live footage from the Old Grey Whistle Stop is must see. Standing On A Rock, Chicken Train, Beauty In The River and It'll Shine When It Shines are my favorite tracks
I lived in Pierce City, 25 miles from Springfield, MO, from '69 'til '77... a friend introduced me to the music of the Daredevils, & I've seen them twice in concert- once in Springfield, once in Kansas City, MO; the friend's wife was friends with the harmonica player's (Steve Cash) wife & introduced me. Her dad ran the local movie theater Also, the band's members lived in & around the local area, so I consider them 'homeboys'!
JIM DANDY. Is a must- my favorite❤❤
That’s Black Oak Arkansas not Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
@@littleogeechee223 indeed!
You beat me to it it is Black Oak Arkansas go Jim Dandy go
If you ever got to see them in person every song sounded exactly like the LP. I even got to hang out with them out back before the concert. They were so cool in person. Pure genuine good ol boys. Thanks for playing this one
You guys make us smile too!! I discovered this channel about six months ago and immediately was addicted! Hope you guys keep doing what you’re doing 💜💜💜
Oddly enough, I first heard this song in the assistant principal's office when I was in middle school. The assistant principal was a young guy (I would say late 20's/early 30's but no older). He had his radio on when I went in. The first thing I heard was that harmonica. I remarked that that was a cool song, we started talking about music and he completely forgot that he was supposed to paddle me LOL. I have always loved this song ever since. I knew you guys would love it!
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils were signed by A&M records because they wanted to have a group on their label like The Eagles, who were becoming really big at the time. OMD never became as big as The Eagles, but they were really good and had a fair amount of success for a while. Their biggest hit was a song called "Jackie Blue" and other songs like "Country Girl" and "You Made It Right" also did very well. Another great song from them is called "Leatherwood."
I grew up near their farm north of Springfield, Mo, where they honed their craft. some friends of mine would go into the woods and listen to them play all night long. Those are some great childhood memories. In 2004 I saw them play at a an event held on a farm north of Carthage Mo. It was fall and by the time they took to the stage which was a buckboard with a stage extension on the front, the temp had dropped to the mid 50's and it started to drizzle. Some people left but you know I didn't leave. They started at 9pm they played till 11pm, took a 20 minute break, and played till 1am. It was one of the single most rememberable music events I have ever attended. Sometimes songs were separated by a quick note about what led them to write the song, other times, it was the main guy saying, "hears a song you have never heard before cause we ain't never played it for anyone", then the song would commence. Sorry for this long post, but one more piece of history for the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, one of their most famous songs could be Jackie Blue. There used to be a Denny's restaurant on Glenstone Avenue right of Hwy 44 in Springfield, Mo. The Ozark Mountain Daredevils recorded the sound track to Jackie Blue in the bathroom of that Denny's. They said the acoustics was perfect for that song. :0) The Ozark Mountain daredevils did their farewell tour within the last year or so. All the original members (except those that have passed) played and recorded together for 5+ decades. They are truly a southern music treasure that I am glad you guys gave a shout out to. Other Southern rock bands, The Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchett, Pure Prairie League would be a good start. I am sure I am missing someone. :0) Thanks for this! it was a good late night walk down memory lane! :0)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for finally doing an Ozark Mountain Daredevils reaction! I have listened to this band since their very first album in the early 70's and they have so many good songs. Please react to Jackie Blue, Homemade Wine, Walking Down the Road, Country Girl, Chicken Train, Within Without, Black Sky, Standin' On A Rcok. So many awesome songs if you want to go down the rabbit hole. Thanks again. Love you guys and yes Amber I have drank well water many times in my younger days. We had a well on our farm and there is nothing like cold well water!
"You'll know like I know" is another great one from them too.
I am amazed for you listening OMDD. The band had some more selling hits (in fact this one also, which is good), but I would love you to listen and react to these inspring and lovely songs (in my favorite order): 1) Spaceship Orion 2) Beauty In The River (These 1-2 we played and sung in our mother'äs funeral) 3. Colorado Song 4) It'll Shine When It Shines (from the album that has the same name) 5) Country Girl 6) What's Happened Along My Life 7) Kansas You Fooler 8) Gypsy Forest 9) Leatherwood 10) Journey to the Center of Your Heart 11) You Know Like I Know. RIP the harmonica player Steve Cash.
Man I haven't heard this song in years. When it came out it was all over the radio
OK, you finally hit Ozark Mountain Daredevils, time for y'all to discover the greatness of Rory Gallagher. '70's Irish guitar god. According to lore, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jimi Hendrix was asked, “How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?” He is believed to have answered, “I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.” Bull Frog Blues and Shin Kicker are absolute tear the roof off rockers
Have they listened to Rory G before? Even if so, I don't think they've heard Bad Penny. Absolutely great kick-a$$ guitar work and lyrics. That one is on every play list I do. Soooo good!
Tattoo Lady!
Really? I thought that was Clapton talking about Prince. No wait…. It was Edward Van Halen talking about Prince.
I have a nice memory that stands out listening to this song as I drive over the bridge on Lake Tawakoni in East Texas circa 1972 with my 3 buddies to a camping trip.
This is such a great album! Loved seeing this reaction on your channel! Love you guys!
Yeah guys thanks for reacting to this song. Part of my misspent youth. Nothing better than SOUTHERN ROCK
Been waiting on this one I knew y'all would love it. Next OZMD Jackie Blue. Then Chicken Train.
Jackie Blue by them is really good as well, Chicken Train, the live vid of them at the old grey whistle test, is great.
Been living in the country my whole life, and always had well water. You're right, Amber, there's nothing better.
Great Reaction! When Bluegrass meets Rock, you got Ozark.. their first hit from first album! "Standing On the Rock", "Chicken Train", "Beauty In the River", and "E.E. Lawson" are more awesome tunes..
Thanks for doin this. Old guy here. Well water guy here. Jay. Look to to your left. If you wanna find an Angel.. You gotta find it where it fell. Learned it . Livin it .. lovin it.
My grandmother had a well on her property. That was her only source of water. It was so cold and tasted so good! Jackie Blue is a must listen from this group. Find the longest version out there because the short version omits a whole verse!
I saw them at a concert in KC,Missouri in the 80s. It was The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, The Dirt Band, Riders of the Purple Sage and Pure.Prairie League. Great, great concert.
You gotta hear “Jackie Blue.” Love that song.
Outstanding! Just one hook after another. Love the whole vibe ever since I was a youngster. Not a wasted note, and it ends without the time to put the cherry on top … Bam!
Cinderella by Firefall has harmonica in it. Fantastic song! I grew up on well water. Nothing like it
This band is from Springfield Missouri, they are still on the road celebrating their 50 years together. They are my favorite all time American Band.
I know it is co incidental, but this is the 2nd song, along with Blue Sky by The Allman Brothers, in the past couple of weeks,that I suggested to you guys well over a year ago.
Love the Ozarks, Spaceship Orion and It'll Shine when it shines are brilliant tracks. It was hard to get their albums in the UK we only managed to get one and the others were ordered by our local record store from the USA
Man, haven’t heard this song in for-EVER. This and “Jackie Blue” might be the only two songs I know of theirs. Both were all over the radio in the 70’s.
Wow you bring back such awesome memories of my early tween years!!! Love this one! Thanks so much. Love you guys!!! ❤❤❤. Well water and Spring water is what I grew up on too.... Nothing like it!!!! Did you all do Jim Dandy by Black Oak Arkansas... I lose track, don't know how you keep up!! ❤️❤️❤️
I believe they have done "Jim dandy to the rescue "..maybe this past year
Besides Jackie Blue, give a listen to "Country Girl" from their debut album, "Look Away" and "You Made It Right", from their album, "It'll Shine When It Shines", and "Leatherwood" from their album, "The Car Over The Lake".
You guys always make me smile. Look forward to watching everyday. ❤
My sister used to live in a 200 year old farmhouse that was at the bottom of a mountain. She had a spring coming off the mountain that went into a holding tank in the basement. It was the best purest cold water I've ever had.
This was a cool song too. Never heard it before.
This group has a classic sound 🔥 was one of our "theme songs" in h.s. 🥳
For a unique example of some of the pioneers of every bluegrass instrument, check out the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (and numerous legends) playing "Wabash Cannonball." 👍💕🔥
Or anything else. They made some fantastic music!
@@BC-ui9yt so true! ☺️
I love, Love, LOVE YOU TWO!!!
In your grooves, diggin’ the vibes and literally watching you both feeling the music.
Thank you cause it’s so much fun to watch. You 2 feel like a couple I would love to hang out with jamming to music, maybe getting tattoos. Even though you like the Bengals (I’m a Rams fan since ‘75 but was a Bengals fan in ‘73-‘74) you two are awesome in my book.
Thanks. Keep on kicking ass and Rockin’ Out!!!
Love ya both
Woo Hoo didn’t expect you guys would ever go down this hole but here we are and, Hot Damn!!! This is one of their two best known songs, the other was Jackie Blue, but certainly not their two best. They were not extremely commercial but had a huge very loyal following. As a result, their best songs weren’t the few that made the radio, but rather the album gems loved by their fans, which I’m sure you’ll hear about in Comments. Their ability to blend folk, rock and bluegrass was in my opinion unmatched. Everyone has their own “best” and there is no wrong answer. My “best” and favorite of theirs is Fly Away Home, with an almost gospel bluegrass feel, but you definitely want to also check out Standing On A Rock, Country Girl, Homemade Wine, Leatherwood, Black Sky and Chicken Train (my grandkids favorite). Was just listening to this CD today and whaddayaknow, you guys came through! Hallelujah (that’s in Fly Away Home a lot).
I forget how much I loved this band. Reminds me way back when we would go to our favorite bar and listen to this tune; a little high, a little drunk, and playin' the best foosball and pool of our lives.
“Jackie Blue” is my favorite!!🤘🔥
The absolute cream of the crop, world-wide, came running
in answer to Robbies’ call here. The joy I feel listening to and
watching this is indescribable. And yes, my teenage years
are represented in this. Have always Loved Robbie and always
will. Thanks for this Seb. ❤
One of my all time favourite songs and I hadn’t heard it for some time, thanks for that one.😎🍺
Harmonica player Steve Cash just passed away in 2019. The Daredevils still play around the MO area a couple times a year with remaining members John Dillon and Michael Granda. One of the main reasons the OMD didn't achieve greater acclaim was their love and desire to remain living in the country where they grew up near Nixa, MO. A couple of the members were already married and had kids, and they refused to continually be on tour and away from home for months at a time. In the '70s, the big rock bands were expected to tour most of the year, and live in Los Angeles to be recording in the studio when not on tour. The Daredevils refused to do either. KSHE radio in St Louis helped make the OMD regionally popular by regularly playing songs off the "Quilt Album" on FM radio. Love the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
WOW! KSHE Radio. Memories flooded back when I read that! I lived in St. Louis 72-74, and listened to KSHE, but my favorite was KADI, The Rock of St. Louis! OMD still sound as good today as they did back then!
Jackie Blue was a really good tune! Here's hoping that you do it soon! ❤❤😊
Is it better than Jackie Brown?
I've loved this tune and have been singing it at family gatherings since 1978 -- my brother played guitar as did many cousins -- seeing an 8 year old boy singing "You gotta raise a little hell" must have been an interesting sight. They are very eclectic -- I like the tunes "Spaceship Orion", "Colorado Song," "Road to Glory," and "Within/Without." Similar to America a bit but unique for sure -- it's worth listening to their more complex side -- I can see both of you liking the tunes I named. All of these songs are on their self-titled debut (just like this song.). I dig the thoughtful way you all analyze all of these different genres and tunes. Thank you!
Pure Prairie League, Marshall Tucker, BTO, Ozark again (Jackie Blue), Firefall, Black Oak Arkansas, Molly Hatchet, CCR, Charlie Daniels Band, Doobies, Little River Band, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Steve Miller Band, James Gang to name a few. Takes me back to high school and college!
I had their albums. I lived on the top of Tom Sauk Mountain in Missouri. Played their music around a fire in the front yard. Cold Beer and No Neighbors!
Gotta do "Jackie Blue"
It’ll Shine When It Shines a change of pace, but pure Daredevils.
Not sure if you guys reacted to their song Jackie Blue live….. it’s a vibe.
A good friend of mine that I also worked with would whistle this tune. There have been times that I listened to that for an entire 8 hour shift. Never minded it at all. Great song.
Great tune❤
To add to the hell-raising theme, there’s a song by a Canadian band called Trooper that made a song called Raise A Little Hell. Good song, 70s rockers
Great song, you should listen to ( Jackie Blue) next time
My great grand parents in Mississippi had an old fashion well. My cousins and I use to fight over who would get to put the bucket down and crank it back up... My grand father told me about him and his brothers digging that well by hand when they were teenagers. There was an old aluminum ladle hanging on a nail by the well... We'd drink the water right out of the bucket with the ladle. It had the sweetest tasting water and it came out so nice and cold even in the summertime. I miss them and their old farm.
Check out Jim Dandy
by Black Oak Arkansas
Agree with the well water. And the Ozark Mt Daredevils was the best concert I'v been to.Love them!
You guys would love Green Grass And High Tides by the Outlaws. Try to play the extended version. The guitar solos are crazy.
Jay would love that one. The guitar bit in the middle is fast, furious and wonderful. One of my husband's favorite tunes, he played it on 8-track in his car when we were dating. Ha.
I would have to agree with that he would be in heaven
Oh my God I never would have imagined anyone reacting to the Ozark mountain Daredevils. They are simply amazing. So many incredible songs.
As jay often says. This song is absolutely fire
Yep back home in Miss. I had a well on my land and it was the sweetest water you ever drank.
Jackie Blue and Chicken Train. They are from Springfield, MO which we live an hour away from. We have seen them in concert several times. Let me tell you, they are fabulous in person.
