Black Oak Arkansas - X Rated Id Rather Be Sailing
Review by Oscar Kemboi
Black Oak Arkansas, the iconic Southern rock band, has released their latest album, X Rated Id Rather Be Sailing. The album is a blend of classic rock and blues, with a touch of country and folk music.
The album features 10 tracks, each showcasing the band's signature sound and style. The opening track, "Plugged In and Wired," sets the tone for the album with its catchy guitar riffs and powerful vocals. "Hot and Nasty" and "When Electricity Came to Arkansas" are standouts on the album, with their bluesy vibes and gritty lyrics.
Black Oak Arkansas proves their versatility with the acoustic ballad "Love on Ice," which showcases the band's softer side. The album also includes a cover of the classic song "Jim Dandy," which the band has made their own with their unique spin.

Barcode: 9026900001177About Black Oak Arkansas
Black Oak Arkansas is an American Southern rock band named after the band's hometown of Black Oak, Arkansas. The band reached the height of its fame in the 1970s with ten charting albums released in that decade. Their style is punctuated by multiple guitar players and the raspy voice and on-stage antics of vocalist Jim "Dandy" Mangrum.
Following continued diminishing record sales, Jim "Dandy" Mangrum dropped "Arkansas" from the group's name (in an attempt to downplay their Southern-ness).
As "Black Oak" released two albums on Capricorn Records, 'Race with the Devil' in 1977 and 'I'd Rather Be Sailing' in 1978.
