The other OMD: Ozark Mountain Daredevils

When I read in places about OMD, most often I am reading about Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark.  But is the other, better OMD, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.  The record is called It'll Shine When it Shines.  And this is also a gorgeous record cover.  I bought it today at Chicagoland Record Collectors Show - just outside Chicago.   What an awesome single this record produced - Jackie Blue.   This record contains a masterful liner notes in a separate pullout with such great photos of the band: Michael Granda, Randle Chowning, Buddy Brawfield, Larry Lee, Steve Cash, and John Dillon.  The great Glyn Johns plays High string guitar on the song "Lowlands."   Johns also produced the record.  As for the single Jackie Blue - it was sung by the group's drummer Larry Lee.  The version appearing on this album has a running time of 4:11, while the single was edited down to 3:16.
