I like the live versions of Hot and Nasty and Mutants of the Monster on Raunch 'N' Roll. Black Oak Arkansas is how I learned about Tommy Aldridge. Jim Dandy was known to appreciate the interpretive dance displays at a well known cultural center on Mt. Moriah in Memphis. That's about all I've got to say.

Sorry. I've got nothing.

Great live show. 3 guitars and a wild man singing.
Elvis suggested they record Jim Dandy to the Rescue, worked out well.
David Lee Roth and Axle Rose are two of many who patterned their on stage style after Jim Mangrum.

They were huge in N.O. during the mid 70s, and often played at The Warehouse. Back in the day, there was a contest on the local rock radio station, WRNO, to win free tickets to their show at The Warehouse. Had to submit a photo which best represented their then hit song, Hot 'N Nasty. WRNO received a huge fine from the FCC when Jim Dandy graphically described the winning photo (naked woman, legs spread and fire) in fairly crude terms.

Wore out the album "Keep the Faith" on 8 track in the early 70's.
Never got to see them live.

I saw them in an after hours redneck dive bar (Crossroads Lounge) in Mayhew, MS in the late 80s. Jim Dandy was probably the only original member of the band. They took the stage around 1:00 AM and played 2 songs before a fight broke out on the dance floor. The fight somehow ended up on the small stage in the corner and part of the drum kit was destroyed. Jim Dandy was pissed and walked out ending the show

Black Oak was hot in the mid-70's.
True story... My brother and I are at the Beale Street Music Fest in Memphis and he looks over my shoulder (and does a head bob to look) and says, "There's Jim Dandy." not knowing it's Jim Dandy Mangrum from BOA. (He was wearing an all caps gold necklace that said "Jim Dandy" lol.) I went over and shook his hand while others took selfies with him.
He and his guitarist were there to see Dickey Betts and Anna Popovich play

Awesome vocals. Southern rock to the core.

They were also hot in the early 70s. One lingering memory I have is this. The high school football team I played on in 1971 had to report to our stadium mid afternoon on game day so we could "rest" while laying on the floor of the darkened dressing room. I recall several times a teammate of mine challenged each other to recite the opening of "Lord Have Mercy On My Soul" - Now there's something I'd like to talk to you about at this particular moment.......

As a teen in the 70's, I seem to remember BOA being associated with Satanism or something like that. Don't remember if it was a song, or lyrics, or the backwards masking hysteria, but it was something.

YES - When I listen to BOA, so do my neighbors...
One of the most underrated Southern Rock bands of the 70s.
Their first album is incredible.
I also often spin If An Angel Came To See You, Would You Make Her Feel At Home, High on the Hog, and Ain't Life Grand.
