"Would it not be great to listen to these ol boys while they were strumming away on their MO front porch? These guys can play. Just Missouri country boys making great music. BRR"

"I see by reading other reviews that I'm not the only one to have worn out the LP. I also wore out a couple of cassette tapes in my car as this is wonderful truckin' music.



Just crank up the volume and sing along. The time and miles will fly by without notice."

Ozark Mountain Daredevils "Quilt Album"

J. Lindner | Gem Lake, MN United States | 06/11/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This debut album sets the tone for the Ozark's next three or four succeeding albums. The down home style blend of mountain music with a rock emphasis is very pleasing to the ear. The Ozarks brought a fresh perspective to the music scene, not really seemin to care if the songs had mass market appeal. Of course this was the early 1970s before music became just another big business concerned only with bottom lines. This music is fun to listen to. Classic rock radio stations still give "If You Want to get to Heaven" some airplay, but that one song does not really define who the Ozarks are (or were as they are mainly retired from the music business now). Those songs with the fiddle or the slow, steady beat are more the Ozark's standards.



If you like this kind of off-beat music then this will be worth your time. If you are more in tune with modern music then this will sound like it came from a completely bygone era. I for one fall into the former catagory and enjoy this album time and again."
