Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Black Oak Arkansas. The band that refuses to conform to any musical norms or expectations. Their latest album, "I'd Rather Be Sailing," is a wild and unpredictable ride through the world of southern rock.
From the opening track, it's clear that Black Oak Arkansas are here to shake things up. The twangy guitars, wailing vocals, and rollicking rhythms transport the listener to a honky-tonk dive bar in the deep south.
Lead singer Jim "Dandy" Mangrum's gravelly voice is a force to be reckoned with, bringing a raw and powerful energy to each track. His lyrics, a blend of heartache, rebellion, and good old-fashioned fun, are a perfect match for the band's rowdy sound.
Tracks like "Moonshine Sonata" and "Rebel Yell" showcase Black Oak Arkansas at their best: unapologetically loud, brash, and full of Southern charm. The band's signature blend of blues, country, and rock n' roll is on full display, making for a truly unique listening experience.
"I'd Rather Be Sailing" may not be for everyone, but for those willing to embrace the chaos and embrace the madness, it's a rollicking good time. So raise your glass, kick back, and let Black Oak Arkansas take you on a wild ride through the backroads of the American South.
