Black Oak Arkansas

Named after their home town, these guys were VERY hot in the '73 to '75' timeframe. They put on a show that was non-stop, butt-kickin southern hard rock. We believe this is the only band in rock history where one of the main instruments was a washboard.

Some great tunes from the albums shown at right:

  • Lord Have Mercy on My Soul
  • Hot n' Nasty
  • When Electricity Came to Arkansas
  • Gettin' Kinda' Cocky
  • Hot Rod
  • Mutant of the Monster
  • Singin' the Blues (a cover song off their first album)
  • Uncle 'Lijah
Jim Dandy says it best..... ALLLRIGHT!

or, (trivia) maybe Ruby Starr said it best.... Go Jim Dandy, Go Jim Dandy

Besides the titles shown at the right, a couple of other classic Black Oak Arkansas albums are:
