Arkansas

Live! Mutha is the 9th album by Black Oak Arkansas and their second live album, released on Atco in 1976. It was recorded in Long Beach, California at the Long Beach Auditorium on 11 May, 1975. This is from the CD released by American Beat in 2007.

“Influences and Expressions,” a new album by the Arkansas Tech University Symphonic Wind Ensemble, was released by record label Tonsehen on Friday, Oct. 20. “Influences and Expressions” was recorded at Witherspoon Auditorium in November 2022 by Christian Amonson, former recording engineer for “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band. The project was made possible by the Pat and Roger Wattam Recording Series. The album includes “Slavdom” by Dr. Ksenija Komljenović, “DOPE” by Katahj Copley and “Song Book for Flute and Wind Ensemble” by David Maslanka.

Counterculture flourished nationwide in the 1960s and 1970s, and while the hippies of Haight–Ashbury occupied the public eye, a faction of back to the landers were quietly creating their own haven off the beaten path in the Arkansas Ozarks. In Hipbillies, Jared Phillips combines oral histories and archival resources to weave the story of the Ozarks and its population of country beatniks into the national narrative, showing how the back to the landers engaged in "deep revolution" by sharing their ideas on rural development, small farm economy, and education with the locals—and how they became a fascinating part of a traditional region's coming to terms with the modern world in the process.

Southern Rock legends give the devil his due with these fiery versions of the songs that inspired them the most!
These all new studio recordings find BOA giving a tip of the hat to classic rockers the Stones, Neil Young, and Jefferson Airplane, as well as paying tribute to '60s folk icons Bob Dylan and The Mama & The Papas plus '90s alt rockers Monster Magnet and more! This is the first album the band has released since the passing of founding guitarist Rickie Lee Reynolds and vocalist Jim "Dandy" Mangrum has put together a stellar new line-up to ensure that Reynolds' legacy endures!
