Info zu Black Oak Arkansas (Remastered)

Black Oak Arkansas introduced a three-guitar thunderstorm underpinning the scary basso profundo growls of lead singer Jim 'Dandy' Mangrum. This was a sound unlike any other on the then-nascent Southern rock scene. With songs like 'Hot and Nasty,' 'Lord Have Mercy on My Soul,' and an otherworldly cover of Guy Mitchell's hit 'Singing the Blues,' Black Oak found a cult following through incessant touring with the likes of the Allman Brothers Band. This is not pretty music, but it does have a propulsive kick to it, with the guitars going in several directions at once while Jim Dandy's Howlin' Wolf-influenced vocals lay out a strange blend of macho sexual and religious imagery. Although the sound would quickly become cartoonish over subsequent releases, this initial release contained the spark of the new and different.“ (Jim Newsom)
