Not a Bad Song on This Album.......2007-07-14

I bought this album back in, well, I don't remember when, but it was a very long time ago. Since it was vinyl, it has been sitting in a box in my closet for the better part of 30 years.

I have wanted to listen to it on numerous occasions since then. Unfortunately everything, including my music, is now on CD and "It'll Shine" was not available on CD. In order to listen to it, I would have had to pull out my old turntable, find a place to put the turntable in my current audio system, and hook it up. A real pain in the arse. So, the album stayed where it was, in the closet.

As soon as I saw "It'll Shine When It Shines" was available on CD, I bought it. Oh, the joy!! Nearly brought tears to my eyes. By the end of the first song, "You Made it Right", I was back in full Daredevil mode. "Jackie Blue", arguably their most recoginizable commercial hit, was as pure and purty as ever. Such memories!

If you like you country with a pinch of Bluegrass, a helpin of folk, and a big dollip of rock, you can't go wrong with this album. If I could give it 10 stars I would!

Great CD Reissue From An Underrated Band.......2007-07-03

IT'LL SHINE WHEN IT SHINES is a great CD reissue of a 1974 album by Missouri's Ozark Mountain Daredevils, a Southern rock band who weren't quite in the same league as the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, or the Outlaws, but who was? These guys were, nevertheless, still a great band with a unique sense of humor, and, as on the predecessor and the followup, most of the songs here feature lots of harmonica and guitar (ironically, only the big hit, "Jackie Blue", doesn't). It's great that this album has been reissued, as this band were among the worst-served by their record company. But I guess that when you support stern justice in a high profile kidnapping case (as these guys did regarding the Elizabeth Smart case), everybody's desperate to reissue your out-of-print albums on CD. If you get this CD, the self-titled debut, and THE CAR OVER THE LAKE ALBUM, you'll have everything you need by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

The Ozark's, 'It'll Shine When It Shines'.......2006-03-04

This is the Ozark's brilliant 2nd album. The playing and muscianship is second to none with perfect timing. The harmonies of the group are up there with CSN&Y. For me there is only one song which I am a bit complacent about and that is Jackie Blue. It is the more populist of all the songs and at the time got a lot of air play on radio which probably explains my lack of enthusiasm for it. All the other tracks are unique and faultless. If you love this brand of country rock which is infused with bluegrass and roots derivitives, then you have to add this to your collection.

Great 70s Sound.......2005-09-30

After listening to this CD, I felt like I was a teenager again. The music is still good today. I loaned it to some younger friends who enjoyed it also.

Keep on Shining.......2003-12-24

The ozarks remain one of country rocks best kept secrets. Although the New Musical Express here in the UK described them as 'One of the finest bands of the '70's in any field' they are not well known - but they should be.

Hailing from Springfield, Missouri the band are amongst the most eclectic in rock, almost every band member wrote material, sang and played an array of instruments. Their harmonies certainly equalled the Eagles, and their sound incompassed 'down at home' bluegrass, FM rock, melodic folk country, but also more experimental arrangements such as 'Colorado Song' on their debut release.

'It'll shine' is the ozarks second offering and it's great to get it on CD. There was a trend for bands in the early 70's to get back to the country, well the ozarks never really left it recording the material at a pre Civil War farmhouse with Glynn Johns producing.

There is a real joy on this disc, of a band in tune with nature and each other playing to their strengths. Everyone will know Larry Lee's 'Jackie Blue' which was a big hit for the band and is good straight pop rock, but not entirely representative of the rest of the material, although 'Look Away' and 'tidal wave' show the band can rock.

For me it's the lighter and rootsy material that make it. 'You made it right' with its southern gospel feel, 'Lowlands' with its magnificant harmonies and the slightly zany 'EE Lawson' typical of steve Cash's work.

The disc closes with the title track leaving on a sentimental, and uplifting note. This disc is waiting to be discovered by any serious music fan - give it a try.
