Black Oak Arkansas - Strong Enough To Be Gentle

[Strokecity1]

Excellent song!

I loved this album when it came out when I was 14 in 1975. I didn't hear this again for many years and then my girlfriend had it on cassette (1984) and we broke up and I found it could not

be purchased as it was out of print on cassettes and was never made into a cd. I found a brand

new album on the Global Electronic Music Marketplace and sent it to Lightsound productions in

New Jersey and had it made into a cd (6 copies) complete with front and back album covers in 2004. X Rated is badass!

You are welcome CarolinaLandshark. Glad to help.

[CarolinaLandshark]

Thanks WarHogable!! I've always wondered who that was on the cover. Now I know!!

First heard this album in the 1970;s someone at a family party left this album at our house. A fantastic song and album that a lot of people outside of Ark. and Mo. don;t know about.

I wish to add this in response to a previous post. The girl on the cover is Daina House' She was the January 1976 Playboy Playmate' Also adding to what I previously wrote. I know the world has changed to a huge degree. Lastly I also do know how to spell AVOID.

I heard this song on local Little Rock radio in 1975 one time. Black Oak Arkansas were popular in about 1972 after the first album. They drew big crowds across Europe Before mid 70's most radio stations had decided only a very small percentage of their overall audience wanted hard rock. A small percentage of young adult males who bought the albums. To aviod alienating a large part of the audience they culled hard rock from the playlist.Much over 25 this was long hair hippie freak music
