Review by Milton Galvan
Black Oak's album "I'd Rather Be Sailing" is a smooth and polished collection of songs that showcase the band's impressive musicianship and songwriting skills. From the opening track "Set Sail" to the closing ballad "Anchor," the album takes listeners on a journey through various moods and sounds.
The band's lead vocalist has a rich and soulful voice that is well-suited to both the upbeat tracks and the more contemplative ones. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with skilled musicianship on display throughout the album. The guitar work is particularly noteworthy, with intricate riffs and solos adding depth and texture to the songs.
The album's standout tracks include the catchy and upbeat "Sail Away," the haunting and melancholic "Lost at Sea," and the uplifting and anthemic "Rise and Shine." The lyrics are well-crafted and thoughtful, touching on themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning.

About Black Oak
Black Oak Arkansas is an American Southern rock band named after the band's hometown of Black Oak, Arkansas. The band reached the height of its fame in the 1970s with ten charting albums released in that decade. Their style is punctuated by multiple guitar players and the raspy voice and on-stage antics of vocalist Jim "Dandy" Mangrum.
Following continued diminishing record sales, Jim "Dandy" Mangrum dropped "Arkansas" from the group's name (in an attempt to downplay their Southern-ness).
As "Black Oak" released two albums on Capricorn Records, 'Race with the Devil' in 1977 and 'I'd Rather Be Sailing' in 1978.

I have always enjoyed this song! EXCELLENT HARMONY!
This is not one of Black Oak Arkansas' more popular albums, but there are some really good songs on this one and I wish it was available on CD. Thanks for posting such a good quality recording.
I always thought this was a good allbum, but I am a dedicated fan.
Damn Good Album

Another lost gem from a lost album. Good music, but not what BOA fans expected.
Here are the Black Oak, not the Black Oak Arkansas .
I think it's good to see a good collection of all the Black Oak Arkansas albums. So much great Musical history
