Ozark Mountain Daredevils

One of country rock’s more inventive exponents, OMD was formed in 1971 by the songwriting team of John Dillon, Randle Chowning, Larry Lee, and Steve Cash, with Michael “Supe” Granda and Buddy Brayfield completing the line-up. The group was originally based in Springfield, Missouri. Their acclaimed 1973 debut album, recorded in London under the direction of producer Glyn Johns, contained the U.S. Top 30 single “If You Wanna Get to Heaven,” while a second success, “Jackie Blue,” came from the band’s follow-up collection, “It’ll Shine When It Shines.”

Producing 16 albums and selling over 3 million records are a testament to the enduring commitment to their craft. In essence, their legacy endures not only through their timeless melodies but also through their embodiment of the American spirit and their unwavering dedication to crafting music that speaks to the soul. They remain a cherished chapter in the story of American rock, leaving an enduring legacy that transcends time and genre. This year marks their retirement from touring.
