Ozark Mountain Daredevils is the seventh album (and second self-titled one) issued by American country rock band The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. It is their first and only album for the Columbia Records label after having issued six previous albums on A&M Records.

## Critical reception

[edit]

On the eve of release Billboard magazine staff highlighted "dazzling guitar work" of John Dillon and Larry Lee. The musical content of the disc is filled with pop-rock numbers, and the influence of country is minimized.[1]
