 Upcoming.org: Black Oak Arkansas returns to Oz! at The Static Bar (Saturday, September 16, 2006)
Led by the spandex-clad, sandpaper-voiced Jim "Dandy" Mangrum, BOA was the original party band, combining boogie-driven paeans to the pleasures of the flesh with a cockeyed spirituality that belied their redneck roots.
By 1972, the word on the street was that Black Oak Arkansas was a party, and the group quickly became a hot ticket on the concert circuit, based on their freaky, high-energy stage performances, and Mangrums overt sexuality and charisma.
By the middle 90s, perhaps in response to the bloodless, no-fun climate of the alternative rock world, interest in Black Oak Arkansas seemed to be on the upswing, spurred on by several strong greatest hits collections, and a King Biscuit Flower Hour live set.

 BLACK OAK ARKANSAS - Black Oak Bio
In 2003, it’s hard to believe that Black Oak Arkansas was once one of the most popular bands of the early ’70s.
Throughout the end of the ‘70s, Mangrum continued recording and touring with a series of new Black Oak lineups, but half-baked albums like Balls of Fire (1976) and I’d Rather Be Sailing (1978) showed that little of the fire -- or the fun -- remained.
By 1980, BOA was dead in the water, with upstarts like Van Halen (and their Jim Dandy-influenced frontman, David Lee Roth) redefining "party rock" for a new generation.

 Black Oak Arkansas : Black Oak Arkansas - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Produced by Iron Butterfly's Lee Dorman and Mike Pinera, Black Oak Arkansas introduced a three-guitar thunderstorm underpinning the scary basso profundo growls of lead singer Jim "Dandy" Mangrum.
With songs like "Hot and Nasty," "Lord Have Mercy on My Soul," and an otherworldly cover of Guy Mitchell's hit "Singing the Blues," Black Oak found a cult following through incessant touring with the likes of the Allman Brothers Band.
This is not pretty music, but it does have a propulsive kick to it, with the guitars going in several directions at once while Jim Dandy's Howlin' Wolf-influenced vocals lay out a strange blend of macho sexual and religious imagery.
