Black Oak Arkansas
Southern rockers Black Oak Arkansas never raised to same level of success enjoyed by Lynyrd Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet, but kept a strong cult following thorough the years, thanks to their charismatic vocalist, Jim Dandy Mangrum. Named after his hometown, Black Oak Arkansas eventually managed to release ten charting albums between 1971 and 1976.
Origins of Black Oak Arkansas can be traced back to late ’60s, when they released one album under the name Knowbody Else, with a line-up of Mangrum in vocals; Ricky “Ricochet” Reynolds, Stanley “Goober” Knight, and Harvey “Burley” Jett; on guitars, Pat Daugherty on bass and Wayne Evans on drums. In early 70’s they started using the name Black Oak Arkansas and released self-titled debut album in 1971. Album sold modestly, but the band toured extensively and gained a reputation as an exceptional live act.

Lynette captures the essence of Skynyrd, tapping into those halcyon days when rock was experienced with all the senses. If the past is indeed a prologue to their musical journey, then Lynette Skynyrd is nothing less than timeless.

The Sickstring Outlaws
