Black Oak Arkansas - Kings Row Older Than Grandpa
Review by Nilseu Padilha
Black Oak Arkansas' album Kings Row Older Than Grandpa takes listeners on a journey through the band's signature blend of Southern rock, blues, and country. The album features gritty vocals, driving rhythms, and searing guitar work, all delivered with the band's trademark energy and passion.
From the opening track "Plugged In and Wired" to the closing number "Keep the Faith," Kings Row Older Than Grandpa showcases the band's songwriting prowess and musicianship. The album's standout tracks include "Fever in My Mind," a slow-burning blues ballad that showcases frontman Jim "Dandy" Mangrum's soulful vocals, and "Bad Boys Back in School," a rollicking tribute to the band's rebellious spirit.

Matrix / Runout: EN-0306About 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.
