Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Buddy Brayfield, one of the original OMD's, is one of our lake area doctors in Osage Beach.

I think Brewer and Shipley both live in Mo now too.

Last time I saw the Ozark Mountain Daredevil's was I guess about 10 or 12 years ago at an outdoor concert here in K.C. at the Flamingo Casino (now the Isle of Capri). My wife almost got kicked out of the dang thing 'cause she was dancing on top of a picnic table and wouldn't get down when security asked her to! I finally saw what was happening and "gently" coaxed her down. Told her to act her age and she said... "I AM DAMMIT!" Uh... we're both now 50.

I was hoping Terry Beason had some imput on ths thread. I suspect he has well informed information on Southeern Rock bands. Terry, can you help me out?

Thanks, Don

I think Terry has changed his ways. I saw him in the store the other day with a bunch of CD's. I could only make out a couple of the names. He had the Black Eyed Peas and some Lady GaGa.

Let's not forget my favorite southern jam-band -- Widespread Panic from Athens Georgia, who are sharing a huge tour with the Allman Brothers this coming fall. Can't wait to catch the Dallas and Houston shows Dan-o

Didn't see where you asked a question???

Ok, I'll chime in on another one I consider southern rock, but not sure everyone else does. Jesse James Dupree and Jackyl. Rev it up and go go!

Great picks. It doesn't get any better than The Gilded Palace of Sin.

[Terry Beeson]

No, Ronnie... I'm really getting into Clay Aiken and a lot of Euro-Techno stuff like Orbit...

Well, Don, you and everyone else have hit most of the bands I would and do have on my list with a few additions.

Edgar Winter Band

Charlie Daniels Band (Listen to Still in Saigon...)

The Band (While from Canada, it was "southern" Canada... LOL... and Levon Helm is from Arkansas and influenced them to a southern rock sound - Up on Cripple Creek and The Weight)

Atlanta Rhythm Section and The Amazing Rhythm Aces come to mind as well with a more "refined" southern rock sound.

I would put them more in a "blues" category, but a few others that skim the Southern Rock genre:

Stevie Ray Vaughn

The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Z Z Top

George Thorogood

Sorry Chief, but I prefer the Molly Hatchet version of "Dreams" in that the guitar solos are much more haunting and rich than what Dickey Betts put into it. Both versions are great, though and no real argument from me on which one is the better.

By the way... A bit of trivia... Who wrote "Move It On Over" covered by George Thorogood?
