I haven't quite listened to the whole album yet, there are some interesting cuts on the album.

 

[Mike Blakesley]

Good album, topped some by THE CAR OVER THE LAKE ALBUM, but a lot of excellent tracks here. I really liked the hit single of course, but there was a lot more to this band and this LP really showed their depth.

"If You Wanna Get To Heaven" made the list of CMT's "20 Greatest Southern Rock Songs"

Just ressurecting this thread to say what an enjoyable album this is! I just picked up a nice, clean vinyl copy and love the style. It reminds me of the Capricorn group Cowboy (Scott Boyer and friends) - well-played, good-humored country-rock (but with LOTS of harmonica, in the Ozark's case).

Like this LP well, second that "The Car Over The Lake Album" being quite a leap forward.
