Original... M- (((CLEAN))) 1971 first print ... the very first Black Oak Lp just after they changed their group name from 'the Knowbody Else'...who made an impressive recommended LP.
"BLACK OAK ARKANSAS", originally called "The Knowbody Else", was formed in 1965 in Black Oak, Arkansas, by James Mangrum (vocals), Ricky Reynolds (guitar), Stanley Knight (guitar), Harvey Jett (guitar), Pat Daugherty (bass), and Wayne Evans (drums).
The bands first PA system was acquired via theft from a local high school - and members of the group were caught, subsequently charged with grand larceny and sentenced to 26 years at the Tucker Prison Farm (this sentence was later suspended.) This led to their retreat to the hills of rural northeast Arkansas where they lived off the land and refined their musical style. BLACK OAK ARKANSAS style was changed from their previous more effectively laid back style into triple guitar tight action hard edged rock and roll - with an appealing flair. The band became mass-popular in the early '70s. Again, their infectious hard-rock attack is punctuated by multiple guitar players and the raspy voice and on-stage antics of vocalist Jim "Dandy" Mangrum.
The first Black Oak Arkansas LP features an awesome, powerful display of straight ahead triple-guitar hard rock highlighted by the cult & FM radio fave "Hot and Nasty." The track capsuled everything Black Oak had to offer - a growling & catchy electrified sizzler that turned-on teenagers in every state of the union. Altogether both sides are filled with fun burning romps of the same, never a dull moment, the essence of true Southern Rock!
While Mangrum's vocals alone sound about as rough and unpolished as one can get, the tracks on this platter such as the riviting "Lord Have Mercy On My Soul" are bizarre as well as polarizing. First and for most, Mangrum's vocals are the key aspect of this group that sold their music or drove listeners away. Half singing and half growling, the style is certainly unique, especially for the time. Bottom line you will hear some pretty strong song construction. Black Oak Arkansas does not have the jam quality that the Allman Brothers have but the three guitars that play in uniison and off each other to surprising effectiveness - often striking great melodies and riffs. "I Could Love You" and "The Hills of Arkansas" contain great instrumental sections. The majority of Black Oak Arkansas is fast-stepping upbeat tunes as the group is not really configured to do slower music. Black Oak Arkansas would go on to have successful career, which saw the band hitting the top of sales charts some ten times.
