Black Oak Arkansas - Lord Have Mercy On My Soul LYRICS

[lmt61251]

Beaker Street! Where have ye gone?! Itchycoo Park, Little Green Bag, Let It All Hang Out, and on & on.

[IncensePeppermints68]

holy shit...i never ever thought id find this song, thank you so much man

[checkinout6000]

Found out not long ago Jim Dandy is now a Baptist preacher. Guess he is trying to save all those souls he destroyed 40 years ago. LOL

[higgme1ster]

I remember listening to this with a good head on and the VUs peaking! It was a different time but Jim "Dandy" Mangrum still sounds good. I always thought this LP was better than "High on the Hog"

[1858remmie]

I LOVE THIS STUFF!! WE PLAYED IT AS AN OPENING SONG WHEN I WAS A ROCK STAR. (LOL) relax now, no bs comments. our second song was "The Rover" i jammed with some most excellent musicians. back in the day.

[Ampifier1994]

I love Jims voice!

[johnnyhoye]

i saw them to back in the 70s with edgar winter and some jack ass cut the power it realy sucked the whole croud in the concert were pissed so was i but they still kept on playin without power and we wre high as hell everyone was passin the weed around so it was ok.

[u1n2s3u4n5g6]

Saw them 3 times in the early 70's. Played the heck out of this album. Still love 'em. Thanks!

[SanJoseCraig100]

I got the albums too but,I didn't start listening to them until 1972 as I just was 12

[higgme1ster]

@SanJoseCraig100 That's a little funny. The Album came out in 1971 but you didn't start listening to it until 1972. I bet you didn't listen to Steve Miller's "The Joker" until 1974 then.

[gigabastard31]

i grew up on this stuff to. i still have the albums, inherited them from my dad when he passed. i got a whole cabinet full of vinyl, even have the original new riders- purple sage who never made it, but their song hard to handle became a hit when the black crows redid it. love all this old stuff and need to find a good record player so i can listen to it all again. i miss those crackles you get with vinyl, guess im just getting old lol

[BlutoDaBoss21]

Thumbs Up if you were watching Dazed and Confused and had no choice but to look this song up!

[hoghed]

First heard on "Beaker Street"

("an underground music service

of the LIN Broadcasting Corporation"),

KAAY 1090-AM, Little Rock AR

long before they were 'popular'.

Invariably, it was followed-up with

"When Electricity Came To Arkansas"

from the same album.

I was 14 at the time; to paraphrase Jimi Hendrix,

I "never heard surf music again".

[lagunaflyguy]

@hoghed was a huge fan of Clyde Clifford myself......KAAY rocked. and this song got a;ot of play time.

[MaceMn]

@hoghed Damned straight. BOA & KAAY... the best of times .

[iamtopd]

@hoghed Same here! Kudos to Beaker Street! :)

[MrJDCasey]

I grew up on yhis shit man,my grandma used to bitch about this song,and others(Jesus is Just Alright by The Doobie Brothers and Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum)....WOW....Memories!

[rockngabo]

@MrJDCasey : )

[MrNiceishere]

@MrJDCasey

You must have had a young grandma. Mine died in 1990 at age 90. I never played this stuff for her.

She would have probably flipped out.

[AnvilHearing]

@MrJDCasey i first heard boa while riding with some dude thru mississippi at 2am in 73 or 74 and was hooked and now 37 yrs later i still enjoy their unique hillbilly rock sound .they are like a fine exspensive wine that few people ever heard of .

[CombatArchery]

@MrJDCasey i grew up with this song i am only 55 years old....lol..my hair is longer ...today...spirit in the sky. mr jd casey

[callmethebreesebaby]

@MrJDCasey Me too! I actually drove to Black Oak one time just to party with Jimmy and the gang! I'd love to tell a lie, but truth is we had great time riding around looking and listening to BOA. Love from a former Marion, Arkansas BOA lover!

[MrLivingparadox]

omg, I didn't see this up, Julie D. I love you honey, I miss him too, please forgive the shadow of the host he was and remains our unified purpose as living out and becoming one again.

[jbarkacs]
