The Ozark Mountain Daredevils-Men From Earth (1976)

With an exquisite sound and a wise mix of country, rock and pop, perfectly balanced, in a subtle, harmonious and delicate way, and at the same time sophisticated, they would lead The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, to be considered the Steely Dan of country and a hard Contractor to the Eagles.
With a series of albums of a beauty out of the ordinary, and it is that when this band set out to compose a ballad and halftime or intimate, placid and evocative songs (all their albums are full of them), they leave behind the best brands obtained by bands like The Eagles, America, Poco or Jackson Browne. A statement of this caliber may seem gratuitous, pure exaggeration, but it is not. His vocal play causes amazement, it is perfect; his skill and instrumental finesse is to take off his hat; their talent as arrangers, simply portentous.
In 1976 they would publish their fourth album "Men From Earth" that would have the success that it had reaped in its first three works and where the exquisite "You Know Like I Know" and the classic "Homemade Wine" stood out.
