Mention �country rock� and most people will mention the Eagles. Those into country rock will likely remember The Ozark Mountain Daredevils for their hits, Jackie Blue and If You Wanna Get To Heaven. Jackie Blue, with its smooth vocals a-la Curtis Mayfield is not your typical country rock song
but then fans of the group will probably tell you that the Daredevils, from Springfield, Missouri, are not your typical country rock band. Take Better Days, for instance. The song may have a funky beat but that didn�t stop the band from taking an extended jazzy excursion with the flute.
A customer posted at amazon.com: �The Daredevils manage to mix the traditional sounds from the hills and hollows of the Ozarks with R&B, �70s rock, and you name it� The Daredevils always managed to jump back and forth from the pure rural �hillbilly� sound to any number of directions.�
Certainly worth a listen, even or especially after all these years.
