Our Take

Ah, Black Oak Arkansas's Early Times - a hazy trip down memory lane for those who were lucky enough to experience the band's wild heyday. The album, a collection of early recordings from the Southern rock pioneers, captures the raw, unbridled energy that would come to define their sound.

From the opening track, "Hot Rod," it's clear that Black Oak Arkansas were a force to be reckoned with. Lead vocalist Jim "Dandy" Mangrum's gravelly voice cuts through the thick haze of guitars and drums, commanding your attention with every word. The band's signature blend of blues, country, and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll is on full display here, with tracks like "Lord Have Mercy on My Soul" and "When Electricity Came to Arkansas" showcasing their versatility and sheer musical prowess.

But it's not all fast-paced riffing and raucous solos - songs like "Keep the Faith" and "No One and the Sun" reveal a softer, more introspective side to the band, proving that there's more to Black Oak Arkansas than meets the eye.

Overall, Early Times is a must-listen for fans of classic rock and Southern boogie, offering a glimpse into the early days of one of the genre's most underrated bands. So grab a cold one, turn up the volume, and let Black Oak Arkansas take you on a wild ride through the heart of the South. Trust us, you won't regret it.
