It'll Shine When IT Shines

It'll Shine When It Shines is the second album by the country rock band, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Their debut album was successful enough to give the band the clout to record its sophomore effort. "It'll Shine When It Shines", on the musicians' home turf. For the session, they cut their tracks in the pre-Civil War house that served as their rehearsal space, with Johns and Anderle working from a mobile recording truck parked outside. The homey makesift setup yielded a loose, organic vibe that invigorated material like Cash's tongue-in-cheek swamp-rocker "E.E. Lawson". This album contains their biggest single, "Jackie Blue", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. The song brought in by Lee late in the session, was recorded at the insistence of Glyn Johns, who cajoled Lee into altering his original lyric about a drug-dealing friend into a fond ode to a free-spirited female loner.

Famous quotes containing the words shine and/or shines:

    Sweare by thy selfe, that at my death thy Sonne
    Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore;
    And having done that, thou hast done,
    I feare no more.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    A pretty air in an opera is prettier there than it could be anywhere else, I suppose, just as an honest man in politics shines more than he would elsewhere.
