Album
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils is the debut album by the band The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Sporting a patchwork-quilt cover that gave some indication of its eclectic musical content, it spawned the #25 hit single “If You Wanna Get To Heaven”, plus many other laid-back originals from the Missouri natives. The group’s demo tape caught the attention of A&M Records staff producer David Anderle, who was looking for an Eagles country rock type of band to place on the label. Anderle and the Eagles’ first producer, Glyn Johns, flew to Missouri to catch one of the band’s performances. But the band, nervous about Johns and Anderle being in the audience, did not play their best. Later on, Peterson invited the two men back to his place to hear the band give an unplugged performance by candlelight. This time Anderle and Johns were blown away and they were signed to A&M and sent to England to record their first record with Johns at the helm.
