Southern Rock Legends BLACK OAK ARKANSAS Return With New Album 'Underdog Heroes'

[Sharp Dressed Man]

Southern rock legends BLACK OAK ARKANSAS will release "Underdog Heroes", their first full-length album of all-new recordings in more than 30 years, on May 24 (June 14th in Europe). Founding members Jim "Dandy" Mangrum (vocals) and Rickie Lee Reynolds (guitar) have been keeping the spirit of BOA alive and their songwriting partnership makes this album an essential release in the band's much-heralded catalog.

"Underdog Heroes" includes a very special recording of virtuoso guitarist Shawn Lane, regarded by many as one of the fastest guitar players to ever live, and a member of the BOAclan since 1978 until his passing in 2003.

"Underdog Heroes" will be made available from Purple Pyramid Records on both CD and a special limited-edition gold vinyl pressing (only 300 made).

They were a good live band.
Maybe still are.

Eventually even my old clothes in the Attic will be back in fashion.
All I have to do it lose 50 or so pounds.
