About this album

Race With The Devil is a tough, swaggering Southern rock statement from Black Oak Arkansas. Released in 1977, it extends the band’s rowdy blend of bluesy hard rock, boogie momentum and rural grit, driven by Jim Dandy Mangrum’s raspy vocals and the group’s muscular guitar attack. The title track sets the tone with a fierce, unpolished energy, while songs such as Freedom and Not Fade Away show the band’s knack for reviving rock ’n’ roll fundamentals with a heavier, more confrontational edge. It captures Black Oak Arkansas in full honky-tonk-hardened form, balancing bar-band immediacy with late-1970s Southern rock force.
