Definitely a lot of AM radio air play in the USA, back in the day.
FM too.
@@gergnoyl beat me to it.
Oh yes until it went static at like 10pm 😩
Another song that just oozes the mid-'70s! And yes, Harri, you are correct--the song was mega-popular, reaching #3 on the charts, and got lots of radio play!
What a great song this was! The earmarks of a great band is being to recreate the magic of the studio live on stage. These guys did just that. Impressive!
I disagree ... I don't think they did quite as good ... the guitarist missed on the solo.
I remember this from adolescence. I think I was 9-years-old when it came out. Reminds me of summer. Haven't heard it in ages. Thanks for sharing.
Nah, 11 years old.
I believe I was the same age. When I hear 70's songs, it reminds me of simpler times during Spring and Summer.
@@Boatzilla2 For sure. I grew up in a small town on the Mississippi River in the 70's. I lived next door to my three cousins and in the summer we were free from morning til dusk. We would walk the train tracks, go fishing all the time I toted my trusty AM/FM transistor radio listening to the hits of the day. Some days we would stop at the local diner to share some fries and play our favorite songs on the table top Juke Box. It was just about the best childhood a kid could have.
I was walking home from 7th grade, and found a cassette tape lying on the ground. Got it home and put it in my tale player. Never heard of them until that day, but have been a fan since. My friends and I got a kick out of Chicken Train and Commercial Success (which my mom wasn't too happy about after hearing the lyrics, lol. I still have that tape, 32 years later
This song was a bit unusual for them. Try their hiy "If You Wanna Get To Heaven"
I remember that song! I heard it in the alley on a weird radio.
I was going to say the same thing!
Nice to see the live version but yes, the studio version is a must listen. Song is and has been played on the radio a lot.
I completely forgot about this song and how good it is.
these guys are great ! "standing on the rock " and "beauty in the river " and you must check out "chicken train " !!
I owned every album they ever made. My favorite songs by them are "Homemade Wine", "Moon On The Rise", "Standing on the Rock", and "The Fox" . Totally awesome tunes.
A reaction request Harri. Most people from the classic Rock era, will remember this Band, that I'm pretty sure were "one hit wonders".
I believe the Band's name was "Stories" and The song was called "Brother Louie." About a white boy bring home a Black gal he had fallen in love with. It's almost like the movie "Guess who's coming to Dinner." It is a great song. Told in "story" fashion, you are riveted listening to the next verse, to see how his parents are going to react to this mixed relationship. It was a huge hit in both the U.S. and Britain. You may have heard it before, but it is such a cool song. Very relevant still today, although, I doubt anyone would have the guts to record it these days. Things were much more laid back in the 70s, than they are these days.
Thanks Friend
You gotta listen to their song “If You Want To Get to Heaven” 🙏😃
I agree with you , o can hear a hit from the 60’s when u was a child, the 70’s when I was a teen, or the 80’s when I was in my 20’s, and relate it to something in my past , a friend or family member, a school or event, or something. When they say music was our soundtrack in life that’s very true, there was always music playing somewhere.
This song has SO much going for it. Great vocals, great lyrics, great slide guitar, interesting bass, drums and piano. One of my favorites from the 70's!
You just took me back to my teen years.
70's radio was so good. Several stations and all played great music. I sure do miss that.
I agree with manofmanyinterestss in that the LP version is much better in that it has an additional verse at the end: “Everyday in your indigo eyes I watch the sunset but l don’t see it rise. With moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine you take the world but you won’t take the time.”
He should definitely listen to the studio version!
the whole old grey whistle performance was great
fun trivia: 'Jackie Blue' was originally a drug-dealer despondent that he had no friends!
100 people knock on his door every day, but not one of them is his friend.
The record label thought that 'Jackie Blue' sounded more like a girls name, so the lyrics got re-worked.
Best car-radio song ever!
One of my most favorite 70’s songs. I was about 6/7 years old when this came out and it’s still in my music playlists!
Hmm never thought of that "Missed Again" similarity, but now I can't unhear it. Great observation!
Glad you liked it, Harri. It WAS the gem of the 70s
The recorded version is much better. I was given this dusc when I was very young, and have loved it ever since.
The OMC was a local group from SW Missouri, that made a couple of hits. And that was their top hit from the 1970's. If you weren't from the 1970's or from the Ozarks, then you might might not have heard about them.
They were a southern rock, rock-a-billy type group. The name was uniquely different then other groups from the 70's. But, once you heard their songs, you never forgot them.
It was originally about a drug dealer that the band knew, but at the suggestion of their manager they rewrote the lyrics and it became about a reclusive girl.
One of my favorites of that era and still sounds fantastic.
I remember exactly where I was when this song came out at 12 years old! Memories, wow! Learned something new bc all these years I thought it was a woman singing. 😝
Many good song's from the Daredevils. Great musicians & vocalists! Thank's, Harri!
I live in the middle of the Ozarks. They are huge. They have their own venue that is always booked with top entertainment.
This song brings me back. I was about 15 yrs old. The person who requested this song.backto you.
According to the book It Shined by Michael Granda, the band name was derived from “Cosmic Corn Cob & His Amazing Ozark Mountain Daredevils”, a name that John Dillon came up with at a Kansas City “naming party” after the band was told that the name they had previously been using, “Family Tree”, was already taken. The band shortened the name because none of the band members at the time wanted to be called “Cosmic Corn Cob”, and they did not want the name to sound similar to the Amazing Rhythm Aces.
Flash from the past, with a broad smile 😁
This was a great show at the Old Grey Whistle Test by Ozark.. I'm glad you reacted to them.. I've been requesting all over for quite awhile and you might be the first to do them. Thanks..
They are from my State. Grew up listening to these guys. Love them. ♥️☺️ Try Chicken Train. If you haven't already. ☺️
This is literally one of my favorite songs ever. You were speaking of Phil Collins song "Missed Again".
It was , all the time , every time this song comes on , I always sing to it
This band is Great, with so many different sounds. " You Made it Right " " It`ll Shine When it Shines" " Uncle Elijah " and many more.
Nice selection, Harri. I never thought I would hear this song on a reaction channel. When I was a pre-teen in the early 1970s I used to hear this song regularly on an AM station on my little transistor radio while I was lying in bed late at night. Cool playout that you never heard on the radio. The song brings back great memories. Thanks.
Good song! It was a #1 record here in Canada. Brings back a lot of great memories of good times in 1975 when l was 19 years old out cruising and had the world by the tail! ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
love this song but never knew who it was by so thank you Scott and Harri🙏🦋🌈🌞🌻💜
Oh my gosh you played it! I have been waiting. I was thinking about this song just last night. How funny.
I love your reactions.
Another great reaction to another great tune! This was always a fun song of theirs and it did receive a lot of airplay back in the day! The song you must react to by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils is "If You Want To Get To Heaven"!
I adored this and bought it on 45rpm. I thought it was a classic from day one. So happy to hear it again; Cheers Harri, love Dawn xxx
There are many live performance recordings of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils done at the Old Greg Whistle Test in London on BBC2
Harri, I'm new to your channel, and you were surprised that this wasn't sung by a bunch of daredevils, and the song is awesome....I just want to send a request to a legendary rock band to you and the name is Molly Hatchet. This is an American band influential in Southern Rock and Roll. The name of the song is "Flirting with Disaster"....it was huge in the United States in 1979...would love to see you hear it mate!! Thanks.
This lineup had such amazing songwriters, each with their own distinctive style. Personally I always enjoyed Larry Lee’s songs the most, but they’re all great
Totally agree. Spaceship Orion is truly special to me.
I have loved this song since I was a young girl. Yeah!!!!!!😃
Larry Lee, incredible voice and cunning ability to write amazing tunes. Check out his solo music and look at who he has produced and worked with.....dude is amazing!
You like your red, eh Harri. I'm like you. Songs take me right back and I start remembering things I had long forgotten. All the best.
so many great songs by this great band
Yay! What a good band they were. Thank you.
Love this song! It so reminds me of being a young child in the 70s. You should react to "Hot child in the city" by Nick Gilder ☺This live version is ok but in my humble opinion first listens to songs should always be studio versions ☺
Yep. I agree.
Saw them live back in the 70s. They opened for Fleetwood Mac. Wasn’t familiar with them outside of this song. They gave a wonderful performance.
Love this song. Reminds me of songs by Todd Rudgren, ex. ‘We Gotta You a Woman’. Miss those times! ❤ 4:50
This is one of their better known songs, Spaceship Orion is my favorite OMD song.
I LOVE LOVE Jackie Blue!!
Good point about that particular Phil Collins comparison. Yes, very haunting at night this song. The name of the band now that you mention it sounds like the name of maybe a biker gang or some sort of club.
Savoy Brown band - Hellbound Train is a great song from an English blues band in the 60's/70's. Not many will know about this song or the band.
I think this was their most "popular song" along with "If You Wanna Get To Heaven". I don't normally associate OMD with electric guitar, they were more of a bluegrass country band. Their self titled album (quilt album) is a masterpiece. If you have never heard it I would strongly recommend it!!!
You’re right. We cranked up the studio version! 🎶🎶
How about Pat Travers, Snorting Whiskey from 1980. Ozark Mtn Daredevils are listed as a related band. Pat was a flash in the pan, but what a flash it was. He was wildly popular for several years.
Heyyy Harri , I love this song to pieces
Thanks for reacting to this song think you're the first person to do it. I have requested it many times love this song 👍✌️♥️ and you're right it was huge on the radio but I didn't mind not at all
This song time traveled me straight back to 1975. But, I also really like If You Want to Get to Heaven.
This is the version i like best. Even moreso than the studio version!
Big hit at the time - I was thinking he sounds somewhat like Jeff Lynne from ELO.
Great song, reminds me of high school days!
Wow Harri
I don’t think I’ve heard that since it was first release especially the live version
Incredible
Fine video again kid, this is right up my street T.O.G.W.T. is a gold mine of fantastic music with most bands playing live ( some were recorded early in the morning so were not allowed to play) check out one of my favourites LITTLE FEAT with "DIXIE CHICKEN ". Take care kid.
My all time favorite American band. Give a listen to If You Want To Get To Heaven.
I didn't read all the comments up to this point so I apologize if I am speaking out of turn. This is also out of the album it'll shine when it shines which is probably the most underrated album I've ever heard in my life. You've already heard the title song. Listen to the entire song front to back.
Love your style Harri
Lo fi! I haven't seen that video before. I remember the song well from back when I was a kid. The lo fi reminds me somewhat of how pop music sounded on an AM transistor radio back then. The improvisational send out was a nice touch, especially the subtle wah-wah there at the very end. The studio recording captures a mystery vibe this live version lacks. I hear the influence on Phil Collins too, although perhaps reflected more in his work with Genesis in songs like "Misunderstanding" or "That's All".
This is the song that's always playing when I stop into a store late at night. It's both soothing and off putting at the same time.
Wow! What a great choice!
Super sounding song off the album It'll Shine When It Shines" released as a single in February 1975. The week of May 17, 1975 the song was number 3 on Billboards Hot 100. Jackie Blue is one of those songs that defines my life and memories back during that time. Another song I remember by the group was "If You Wanna Get To Heaven". Their genre is American Southern Rock/ country rock band out of Springfield, Missouri.
Freshman in HS.This song was echoing through the halls....🤗❤️
You should do a reaction to their hit classic EE Lawson. You will find your daredevil in that one.
One of my favorites growing up!
This song is also performed at The Old Grey Whistle Test!!!
This is the OGWT..
I remember thinking a female sang this growing up because we hardly saw the band members or see it played live unless you stayed up late
STAGED,...
It'll shine when it shines :)
OK so we are deep into some 70’s pop now. May I recommend Shannon by Henry Gross, Wildfire (Michael Martin Murphey), Magic (Pilot) and Sky High (Jigsaw). Oh and if you haven’t already you definitely want to try Year of the Cat by Al Stewart.
All excellent choices. I want to second the vote for Magic and Year of the Cat.
My favorites out of that are Wildfire, Magic and Sky High. Love those songs so much. I also love Tighter and Tighter by Alive N Kicking from 1970. Do you remember that song?
Thanks Harri!!!
Yessss, listen to the studio version. It's lots better than the live version.
I love that guitar
Saw them in a small bar in WV around 81 or 82
Glad you reviewed it Harri, but kinda wished you'd done the album version first ✔
Agree; I often wonder how someone knows a live song is "good" if you don't even know what it is supposed to sound like. Granted, there are bands with great stage performances even if you don't know their music.
Agree Harri, I hear that song by Phil Collins......good catch.
Apparently they got their name from growing their hair longer than was allowed in Missouri at the time . Missouri had rather conservative laws regarding hair length
the songs i listed below have much more of the rough, rock in roll or ozark country sounds
about time somebody did OMD! Try If you wanna get to heaven, look away, fly away home, it'll shine when it shines all are better than jackie blue
Uriah Heep song Magicians Birthday 1972 haven't heard anything like this. They are referred to as Heavy Metal Beach Boys
Harri...I know how much you like Michael McDonald..do I have a treat for you......from the album Blue Obsession ..."You can't make it Love". It is by far his best vocal performance including the Doobies. Not LIVE or another version. It has to be this one if you want to hear him sing at his best.
If you want a good Ozark Mountain Daredevil's song, you have to listen to "If You Wanna Get To Heaven". It's their best IMO.
Side note: This group is currently touring again, to rave reviews!
I have always loved this song, however I will say that the studio version is much better than the live ! IMHO : )
This song was originally about a guy. The record company said it has to be about a girl. They changed it in a few hours and came back with a girl-themed song.
I always thought that was a woman singing like, Carley Simon or smone.
I grew up hearing all this era of music.
Love this song. Try the album version.
